KEY POINTS
- •Elon Musk’s X introduced 'about this account' on Friday, a transparency feature showing account origins and activity.
- •Many key MAGA movement influencers on X are based internationally, including locations like Russia, Nigeria, and India.
- •The tool reveals details such as account join date, username changes, and how the X app was downloaded.
- •Users posing as rightwing Americans are operating internationally, according to the platform’s new transparency data.
Elon Musk’s X platform just dropped a transparency bomb revealing MAGA’s most influential rightwing accounts aren’t chilling in a suburban American basement but logging in from Russia, Nigeria, and India. Their new 'about this account' feature lets us peek behind the meme curtain — now we know when an account joined, where it snapped up the app (because apparently patriotic grifters prefer international downloads), and how many times they’ve switched usernames like midlife crises. Launched Friday, it’s like getting the backstage pass to the ironically global patriots trying their best to 'Make America Great Again' from thousands of miles away.
