How does pointwise multiplication of two matrices affect their eigenvectors?

More specifically, suppose I have a known matrix $X\in\mathbb{R}^{d\times n}$ and an unkown vector $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}^n$.

What can be said about the eigenvectors of $\alpha\alpha^T \odot X^T X$ in terms of the eigenvectors of $X^T X$?

(The notation $\odot$ means $[A\odot B]_{ij}=A_{ij}B_{ij}$).
