🧵 Europe Invasion Investigation

1/ We dug into Europe Invasion, a blue tick X account spreading disinformation, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. @elonmusk has boosted it several times, and police say its fake news helped spark the riots in the UK earlier this summer. 2/ Our findings suggest the account is at least partly driven by financial motives. We traced its digital footprint to two Turkish entrepreneurs in Dubai, whose YouTube channel the account promoted. They claim it's run by an "ad agency"—more on this later.
