They are the current day form of Russia’s Internet Research Agency and misinformation is the
coin of the realm for them. I will guarantee you that if you could you could trace back almost
all of Musk’s sponsored foreign based MAGA electronically produced internet MAGA chatter
much of which is on X might very well be traced back to Russia and Putin and Musk are really good buddies.

Trump’s Amazing Election win.
