ATTN Blueskyers who still courageously venture over to X now and then: Look up every MAGA influencer you can ASAP and screenshot their locations!!! Before X turns this policy around! Then we can compile them into a database for MAGAs to not actually care about but it’s worth a try

Putin instructed his buy QEloon to do this. Putin loves that QEloon is so easily manipulated. Putin loved that QEloon is a Nazi.

"Sleepy Joe Biden's ANTIFA hackers are making it look like American influencers are from Russia to hide the TRUTHS we are smart and brave enough to share! MAGA!!" - 99% of these accounts' followers, who will once again double down rather than admit they've been duped

It still has too many real people who think they can change the opinions of horrible people, so they post there, giving Nazis things to attack. The only reason to post there would be for entrapment of said nazis

I’m not necessarily saying she’s Russian, but based on the exclamation point she’s using a VPN, so no, I don’t think she’s from the US either.

Sorry that sounded pushy. I shouldn't tell anyone what to think just worries me that there is no control over propaganda that is eating us alive and there won't be unless corporations bring it upon themselves to take the necessary steps.

Hahaha. I don't even know where to start with this. You sound like MAGA. I helped get the Loblaws boycott going and helped keep it running, but sure, I'm a chaos actor.

I mean, I voted for Carney because I despise PP, but he's far from perfect. He backed Israel for as long as he could get away with it and bends over backwards for American oil billionaires while ignoring Canadian environmental and First Nations groups. I wish he were a leftist and not a neoliberal.

Albertans don't hate Carney. He's been great for the oil industry, thus far. Here in BC, on the other hand, many of us are not impressed. Russian bots were used against Trudeau. They haven't been needed for Carney, though, given he's a trickle down economics Conservative.🤷🏽‍♂️

That's fair... I think it's general anti-Lib sentiment than anti-Carney. I think the reality in the US right now necessitates a different course of action than we were on. We've been threatened and throttled. Poilievre was endorsed by Peterson, Carlson, Musk, and Jones. Carney was the only choice.

@cykoore.bsky.social

Telling Canadians that aren't sycophants for Carney to leave the country sounds EXACTLY like a MAGA comment. You're falling down the cult pipeline. Figure it out.

I'm betting they will remove this feature when they find out just how many massive right wing pundents and media starlets are all Russian, Chinese, or Indian. Lmao

Wanda's wife is a French national 🤣 She speaks French (badly) but they are raising their kids to be bi-lingual. She did a great bit about visiting her in-laws in France.

Do you have to be verified to see others' status? When I look at her profile, it doesn't give the country of origin. When I look at my unverified account it gives the country of origin, but not for others, just the date they joined X.

x.comMusk corruption and use of out of country influencers on X platformAllegations of Corruption Involving Elon Musk Elon Musk has faced numerous accusations of corruption, particularly tied to his business interests, political donations, and role in the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). These claims center on conflicts of interest, where Musk's companies (Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and X) have allegedly benefited from his influence over federal agencies that regulate or contract with them. Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, argue this constitutes self-dealing and quid pro quo, enabled by lax ethics rules. Musk and his defenders dismiss these as partisan attacks, emphasizing his efforts to cut government waste. Below is a summary of key allegations based on public reports and investigations as of November 2025. | Category | Key Allegations | Details and Examples | Sources | |----------|-----------------|----------------------|---------| | Political Donations and Influence | Musk spent ~$300M to support Trump and Republicans in 2024, then gained advisory power via DOGE, leading to agency cuts that benefit his firms. | - Promised $100M more for Trump-aligned PACs.- DOGE targeted agencies like NHTSA (Tesla safety probes) and SEC (Musk's fraud suits), reducing staff by 10%+.- 40+ investigations into Musk companies stalled or dropped. | , , , | | Conflicts of Interest in Government | As a "special government employee," Musk allegedly violated ethics laws by influencing decisions on his companies. | - Pushed FAA to favor Starlink contracts while DOGE oversaw aviation.- Neuralink USDA probe halted after DOGE fired inspectors general.- Report lists 130 "unethical" actions benefiting Musk firms. | , , , | | Securities and Business Fraud | SEC suits for misleading investors via tweets and Twitter acquisition. | - 2018: Fraudulent Tesla privatization tweets ($40M penalty).- 2022: Late Twitter stake disclosure; ongoing probe into $44B buyout.- 2025: SEC sued Musk for cheating Twitter investors out of $150M. | , , | | Other Claims | Accusations of enabling foreign favoritism and NGO fraud probes. | - Trump admin prioritized white South African refugees amid Musk's "genocide" claims.- Musk accused "fake" Democrat-linked NGOs of corruption, calling for arrests. | , , | Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Mikie Sherrill have called for Inspector General probes into these issues, citing potential bribery and private gain laws. A Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance has been blamed for enabling such "legal corruption." No criminal charges have been filed against Musk as of now, and his net worth reportedly dropped $113B amid DOGE scrutiny. Musk has countered by accusing critics of hypocrisy and highlighting his anti-corruption work via DOGE. Use of Out-of-Country Influencers on X Musk's ownership of X (formerly Twitter) has amplified concerns about foreign influence, as the platform's algorithm and his personal engagements boost right-wing content from non-U.S. accounts. Recent transparency features revealed many "MAGA influencers" are foreign operatives, sparking debates on election interference. Musk promotes "free speech," but critics argue this enables disinformation from adversaries like Russia. X has faced accusations of paying foreign creators to spread pro-Trump narratives, with Musk interacting ~100 times with influencers tied to a Russia-funded firm (Tenet Media). | Aspect | Key Issues | Examples | Sources | |--------|------------|----------|---------| | Foreign Troll Farms and Bots | X is rife with non-U.S. accounts posing as Americans to push MAGA content, including Russian/Chinese ops. | - Recent "country of origin" feature unmasked dozens of top right-wing accounts from Nigeria, Bangladesh, etc.- Russian bots flood X with election disinformation; FBI access to block them was cut post-Musk buyout. | , , [post:72], [post:82] | | Musk's Engagements | Musk boosts foreign far-right figures, surging their reach 10x+ on interaction days. | - Interacted with German AfD extremist (audience: 230K → 2.2M).- Amplified UK anti-immigration activist (banned pre-Musk).- Frequent replies to Russia-linked influencers like Tim Pool, Benny Johnson. | , , | | Payments and Incentives | X pays creators (often foreign) for divisive content; Musk's feed favors right-wing sources. | - ~50% of Musk's weekly posts from conservative influencers/conspiracy accounts.- Australian/Polish creators host Musk-favored "news" chats with world leaders.- Saudi VC ties aided X buyout, per reports. | , , , [post:81] | | Policy Impacts | X content influences Trump admin decisions; foreign meddling unchecked. | - Musk's posts echoed foreign claims (e.g., Fort Knox gold hoax).- EU concerns over U.S. "meddling" via X boosting hard-right parties. | , , [post:78] | The November 2025 rollout (and quick removal) of X's "country of origin" label exposed these networks, leading to calls for bans or regulations in the EU and Australia. Musk has defended X as a "free speech" haven but faced lawsuits over advertiser boycotts and misinformation. Recent X posts praise Musk for curbing foreign ops via the feature, but skeptics see it as reactive damage control. These topics intersect: Musk's DOGE role allegedly shields X from scrutiny, while foreign influencers exploit the platform to echo his anti-establishment views. Ongoing probes (e.g., by GAO) may clarify legal lines, but as of now, evidence points to systemic issues rather than isolated incidents. For deeper dives, I recommend reviewing Warren's full report or SEC filings.

Wow… I deleted my account with X when everyone started coming here. The only reason I miss it - is to talk to people able my team. I have found I can do that on REDDIT.
