Following internal discussions between the editorial team, and consultations with its council for upholding journalistic ethics and independence, the Société des journalistes, Mediapart has decided to end all activity on X as of January 20th 2025. That is the date of Donald Trump’s investiture ceremony as 47th president of the United States, a man who has described journalists as the “enemy of the American people”. The date will also mark when Elon Musk takes up his appointment in Trump’s government as head of a Department of Government Efficiency.
