LINK: Many prominent Maga personalities on X are based outside US, new tool reveals
Many of the most influential personalities in the “Make America great again” (Maga) movement on X are based outside of the US, including Russia, Nigeria and India, a new transparency feature on the social media site has revealed.
But, but...foreign influence was a hoax. Trump told us so!

@hubrys Now do LIB & anti-maga personalities outside USA..... 2x or 3x number.
-
Funny, I don't know any of those accounts. I guess they aren't that influential.

@raphjd But many non-libs saw, for example, "Ron Smith"... Kamabla door to door righteous campaigner.... from Kenya
who was so boosted by old-Twitter algos. yet deleted yesterdayIt's classic problem of lib echo chamber. Libs don't get exposed to other side. Then libs think they found some great point / & didn't.
Non-libs may talk to each other a lot, but unlike libs, have some awareness of other side.
speaking of, Trump literally just hosted Mamdani (foreign influence ????!!!!!) at White House.
Opposite, of Biden-Kamabla who jailed opponents.
Trump loves Zohran like I do. "He's working very hard - I'll stick up for him"
Another Lib Echo Chamber....6 lib senators who said, Military must resist illegal orders........... but couldn't cite 1 tootindarn example what that might be
apart from Tom Cruise fake movie -
Maga DIVISION (it's not real Maga) pushed by foreigners.
X Begins Labeling Account Locations, Revealing MAGA Division Is Being Pushed by Foreigners
Many anonymous accounts claiming to be MAGA yet pushing division in the conservative movement have been exposed as operating from India, Pakistan, and other nations.
“Who knew that an Austrian has been running a ‘Republicans against Trump’ psyop page?..." conservative commentator Gunther Eagleman said.
“Watch the PETTY infighting stop now that foreign countries aren’t pushing slop under cover of anonymity,” he added.
Again: These aren't real MAGA. They pretend to be. Psy op, false flag, agent provacateur.
“One of the most openly racist accounts towards Indians posing as an American is actually run from Bangladesh,” another X user wrote, sharing a screenshot of the about page for an account dubbed “America First” — with 67,600 followers — revealing it is based in Bangladesh.
One must THINK, to see how turned-around and reverse-psychology it is.
“Call me old fashioned but I don’t think folks from foreign countries should be allowed to vote in our elections,” the X account “War Hamster” — boasting nearly 23,000 followers — wrote, to which another X user quipped, “Man you don’t even have elections,” sharing a screenshot revealing the account is based in the United Arab Emirates.
Good position - Foreign votes & money should not be in USA elections.
BUT....... posted by rude account to sow division...... so position gets bad name.
& that was what author prob meant. Author thinks USA controls should be relaxed to where foreigners vote in USA elections & put Dems in charge.
Classic psy op, classic info-war tactics. Except u have to THINK to understand it. & @hubrys doesn not
“[A] ‘conservative’ account has been relentlessly stoking infighting for months now,” [Matt] Walsh added of another account. “Not American. No surprise.”
The account, boasting 88,100 followers, is actually based in Romania.
So foreign influence ops yes.......... for libs.
Others pointed out that the popular X account “Alex Cole,” with 327,000 followers, and who constantly lambasts Trump supporters on the platform, is based in Canada.
The location reveal is impacting the platform in many other ways, such as exposing accounts pretending to be attractive women. An X user simply commented, “Nigeria” above an X post from a Nigeria-based account suggesting they are a white woman from the United States.
“You are not native American blood. You are from Bangladesh,” another X user said in response to an account claiming to be from Indiana — who wrote that they are “proud to be a girl of Native American blood.” Researchers allege that many prominent Native American accounts are actually operated from India or Pakistan.
“Hi! I’m a 28-year-old single woman from New York,” one X account with 102,3000 followers declared, to which another user replied, “Hi! No you’re not,” sharing a screenshot of the account’s about page, revealing it is based in Vietnam.
“The account that is a Barron Trump parody called @BarronTNews is NOT in the United States and is a divider of MAGA!” another exclaimed, revealing an X account — with 584,600 followers — posing as the First Son is based in non-EU Eastern Europe. [ed: Ukraine???]
“This account has 1 million followers. It is based in Nigeria,” another said, sharing a screenshot of the about page for a since-suspended X account posing as First Daughter Ivanka Trump.
Meanwhile, an account dubbed “The Muslim Cowboy” — which has garnered 75,700 followers and claims to be from the “Deep Southwest” — is actually based in Saudi Arabia, another X user pointed out.
“Yo get the absolute fuck out of here. No wonder this dude is so bold about his position on child brides. If he were actually in TX like he claims, he wouldn’t last long. BEST, GAME, EVER!!!” the X user proclaimed alongside crying-laughing emojis.
“Them: ‘I am a Native American I DEMAND decolonization! Americans are living on STOLEN LAND!!’ Their location: Bangladesh. Their account: now deleted,” another said.

You might remember that all those so-called "Russian-bot accounts" in 2016 were mostly from Brazil, India, and China.
