Even if Musk built in an “origin” feature, he still is a scum sucking rat.

Imagine that! And everyone that interacts with these profiles are making them money with every reaction and comment.

Thank you, Adam. This was bound to come out at one point; anyone remotely aware of how the internet works and what floats around in the slimy digital hinterlands understood the astounding amount of maga accounts that had to be foreign bots. However, this is far more concerning than most people imagine; ask the E.U. who have entire national services devoted to tracking such foreign bots and their activities. Not only do such bots blithely promote propaganda for pay, but they can also be involved in identity theft or worse, with all the misery that implies for the victims. This whole thing needs to be promoted to National Scandal Grade 1 and I hope thousands of screenshots were taken before Elon realized his massive blunder and shut off the button (as I understand it he already has done so.)

Are they the brains behind Trump's posts too? He isn't smart enough to create his posts

It is likely Stephen Miller or one of those people who do some of them.

Hopefully this will wake up some people as to what's really going on here! And better yet,, maybe it will be addressed to protect our country?

As long as we have the administration we have who have probably funded these world wide bot farms nothing is going to happen. These bad actors have worked to much into trumps favor for him to lift a finger of opposition. Definitely don’t count on our.

FBI OR DOJ to lift a finger unless the diddler tells them to. Um 🤔 you know that the United States is probably doing it to other countries also though. Right? I hope Elon didn’t make it work for anyone except us.

Reportedly (forgot where I read it), he built that feature because he thought it would expose the left as foreign-driven and inorganic, rather than the right - that's how deluded he is - i.e. dangerously!

trump & musk like to stab each other in the back in-between payouts & government contracts.

If the Orange Moron wants to talk about 'fake news' maybe he should really start with all these fake accounts. Thank you for this info. Been suspecting it for years - now we see it is true.

Thank you Adam and Micah for your relentless investigative work. It makes so much sense and, as you say, vindicates so much. Proof positive is so critical for some to believe it. The MAGA monster lives wherever billionaire money sends it. We need to keep wading through the corruption we live with. Sharing this far and wide. 📣

So did musk deliberately do this out of spite because somebody hurt his widdle feelings, or did his drug-aaddled brain f*CK up again?
