Starting Friday, X users were able to use a new “about this account” feature to see what country accounts were based in. And for many “America First” posters, this revealed an inconvenient truth, as reported by The Daily Beast.
For example, one account literally named “America First”—with 67,000 followers—seems to be based not in the U.S., but in Bangladesh.
Another popular conservative account, MAGA Nation, with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio that reads, “Standing strong with President Trump 🇺🇸 | America First | Patriot Voice for We The People,” is apparently based in Eastern Europe.
The most interesting part of this is that Musk allowed it to happen. Either he genuinely did not realize he had been working with and supporting other foreign actors attempting to destabilize the US, or some X dev is about to get fired/disappear/“fall” out of a window. There’s no way Musk knew these accounts were dishonest foreign astroturfers and permitted this feature go live.
Dude, he didn’t care and doesn’t care about the United States. He’s on track to become a triilionaire and that is all that matters to cretins like him.
They all know
I think about this comic often nowadays.
He and his friends want these chaos and evergrowing divide for they make people easier to manipulate. Truth won’t hurt the elites if it doesn’t exist, if everything is a lie. Demasking US patriot-bots as foreigners won’t affect maga subscribers, it just further discourages everyone else from even talking to them.
I think he’s committing to the libertarian bit by doing this and keeping community notes. He truly only cares about himself.
