It's interesting that MAGA influencers have been violating X's TOS for a long time. Elon Musk has been letting them get away with it, probably to help Trump win the election.
Today, Elon got pissed and canceled the whole crew. Now he's royally despised by them. 1/
I've been listening to the "affiliates" of ConservativeOG who lost their blue checks. Mostly, they are just screaming at each other about whether or not Laura Loomer doxed someone. 2/
Alex Jones' partner Owen Shroyer lost his blue check. White nationalist Nick Fuentes mansplained how they all got used by Elon. His voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Fuentes eventually dominates the conversation. Charles Johnson offers to pay his legal fees. 3/
But "ConservativeOG" talked about his "website" where his "affiliates" work. So, what is that? His profile lists a PAC website, not a company. 4/ conservativepac.com
In the fine print, it does talk about "affiliates" of this SuperPAC, but not the "company" he mentioned. 5/
ConservativePac is a small PAC based in Atlanta. 6/
All of its money comes from an LLC in Wyoming. 7/
This looks like the founder. 8/
He's also part of the company "Connect Social" and--ah--now it starts to fall into place. 9/
This is a media marketing company posing as a PAC, which Elon Musk has been platforming to help Trump get elected. It's tied to Alex Jones. The content they push is paid media with paid influencers. 10/
Bottom line: Elon Musk let paid Trump influencers manipulate reach on X, violating X's terms of service, until they pissed him off today.
You can figure out who is working for Greg Disser (ConservativeOG) by looking for anyone who lost their blue check today.
