MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Trolls

Elon Musk's social media site X has rolled out a new feature in an effort to increase transparency"and unwittingly revealed that many of the site's top MAGA influencers are actually foreign actors. The new "About This Account" feature, which became available to X users on Friday, allows others to see where an account is based, when they joined the platform, how often they have changed their username, and how they downloaded the X app. Dozens of major accounts masquerading as "America First" or "MAGA" proponents have been identified as originating in places such as Russia, India, and Nigeria. In one example, the account MAGANationX"with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio reading "Patriot Voice for We The People""is actually based in Eastern Europe. With many of the MAGA influencer accounts revealed to originate in Eastern Europe or Russia, users are questioning the ongoing interference in American politics by foreign adversaries.
