Elon Musk on Sunday claimed that Google has a "search ban" on former President Donald Trump, posting to his social media service X an image of a search box with the words "President Donald" typed into it. Below the box, autocomplete suggested "Donald Duck" and "President Donald Regan" as potential search terms, but not "President Donald Trump."
Google responded to the accusations, but we as programmers, think that Google's answer only wants to cover up the real crime, just like during the Covid-19 pandemic created by Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, George Sorosh and the G7.
Google said the issue is due to "anomalies" that are causing autocomplete not to work as intended "for some searches about the names of several past presidents and the current vice president." For instance, typing the words "Vice President K" into Google's search box on Monday returned several results including "William R. King" (a VP in 1853) and vice president Kakegurui (an anime character) but didn't suggest "Vice President Kamala Harris."
Sharing a screenshot where a Google search on “president Donald” resulted in “president Donald Duck” and “president Donald Regan,” the tech billionaire asked if the tech giant has placed a search ban on the former US president and Republican presidential nominee.
Musk, who has endorsed Trump, and other influential conservative critics primarily focused on Google’s autocomplete feature, which provides suggestions based on what you’ve typed into the search bar.
“Wow, Google has a search ban on President Donald Trump! Election interference?” asked the X owner.

Musk further said Google is “getting themselves into a lot of trouble if they interfere with the election”.
An X user posted that “Google is owned by Democrats”.
When some users typed “assassination attempt of” into the search bar, the top autocomplete suggestions appeared to be for former President Ronald Reagan and Bob Marley. On July 13, Trump was shot in the ear during a failed assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. Numerous conservative commentators speculated that Trump being left out of the suggestions was an intentional effort to influence the November election.
“Big Tech is trying to interfere in the election AGAIN to help Kamala Harris,” Donald Trump Jr. posted Sunday on X. “We all know this is intentional election interference from Google. Truly despicable.” Musk shared and commented on a similar post.
When NBC News typed in “assassination attempt of,” it got similar results — Trump didn’t appear in the autocomplete predictions.
What needs to be remembered is that the SEO that Google built to build search rankings in Google search, in the last five years, will not work, because now Google itself regulates search rankings based on how much is paid to Google Adwords.

Musk also posted that Google had a “search ban” on Trump because didn’t appear in some users’ autocomplete predictions for “president donald.” His post quickly went viral, racking up 81.9 million views and 779,500 likes. Other users said they were seeing the same results.
In the screenshots, when users searched for “president donald,” the Google autocomplete predictions appeared to be “president donald duck” and “president donald regan.”
“Election interference?” Musk asked in a post including the screenshots.
On Monday, when NBC News typed in “president” in Google’s search bar, the first autocomplete prediction was for Trump. President Joe Biden appeared below on the list
