Musk's posts showed a screenshot from a Google search result from 10:32 PM CT, which showed that when he typed in "President Donald Trump" name, the Google search engine instead suggested "President Donald Duck".
Sales and Partnerships X employee Noémi Khachian shared a screen recording of her recent Google search results, revealing that when she searched "Donald Trump" the results yielded news articles about Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The Tesla head took an offensive approach, highlighting various users who showed their research on the matter.
Wow, this is crazy! https://t.co/8WW942IB8a

He even drew attention to a post made by Wall Street Silver.

Wall Street Silver concurred with other users upon his own search results: "I did a Google News search about "Donald Trump". Google News changed it to "Harris, Donald Trump" and proceeded to show me only news that favors Harris over Donald Trump."
Harris still needs to officially secure the Democratic nomination, which is slated to occur at the Democratic National Committee Convention in Chicago, Illinois between August 19 and 22.
