Foreign Fake MAGA Anti-Israel Accounts Exposed In X “Location” Disclosure

Foreign Fake MAGA Anti-Israel Accounts Exposed In X “Location” Disclosure

Now we know that it was all a massive foreign influence operation of fake MAGA accounts meant not to promote Trump, but to turn Americans against Jews and Israel and to sow chaos and division among actual Trump supporters.
Posted by Sunday, November 23, 2025 at 09:26pm

If you have spent any time on X (fka Twitter), you know that it is a cesspool of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, frequently neo-Nazi accounts that purport to be “America First” and “MAGA” and posting from the United States, frequently red states.

The X algorithms for the “For You” feed were unbearable.

But I and many others suspected that many, if not most, of these accounts, particularly the ones that purported to be “MAGA” were fakes.

It was part of the worldwide information war against Israel, the only successful war the people who now identify as Palestinians have ever fought. From false claims of Genocide and Famine to inflated casualty numbers, to concealing that Hamas fought from under, within, and around hospitals and schools, the goal was to turn people in the West — and particularly among younger conservatives — against Israel. The Tucker Carlsons of the podcast and influencer world fed off and amplified these social media narratives.

Now we know that it was all a massive foreign influence operation of fake MAGA accounts meant not to promote Trump, but to turn Americans against Jews and Israel and to sow chaos and division among actual Trump supporters.

If it’s happening on X, it’s happening elsewhere on social media.

X has turned live a “location” function that lets you know from where the account is posting (and whether they are trying to hide location through a VPN). The result is that many of the most manipulative supposedly MAGA accounts were frauds posting from abroad.

For the record, here’s me, in America.

The mainstream media is portraying this disclosure as meaning Trump did not have real support, but that’s a total distortion of what happened. These were malicious accounts sowing mayhem in Trump World, not supporting Trump.

There are too many examples to list, but here are some X posts that aggregate the fakers or reveal particularly egregious examples.

Here’s the warning X gives of use of a VPN.

Not surprisingly, there were lots of fake accounts reporting on supposed atrocities in Gaza.

And a lot of pro-Fuentes foreign Groyper accounts:

How many groypers are there in the United States?

Reliance on foreign X accounts suggests not very many.

    1 is 1 too many, They need to go the way of the KKK.

      Milhouse in reply to ztakddot. | November 23, 2025 at 11:03 pm

      One is too many, but if it’s only one then it’s a waste of effort to fight against him, when there are so many more significant enemies on the left.

        ztakddot in reply to Milhouse. | November 24, 2025 at 11:18 am

        I agree with one reservation. As long as they aren’t getting publicity from pseudo-reputable individuals they can be forgotten.

      Evil Otto in reply to ztakddot. | November 24, 2025 at 7:14 am

      The KKK still exists. It’s been reduced to a fringe of a fringe, but it’s still more than one. You can’t utterly purge everyone with a foul opinion without resorting to extreme measures.

        JohnSmith100 in reply to Evil Otto. | November 25, 2025 at 6:44 pm

        I cannot help but wonder how much good will blacks have cost themselves and what, if any impact that has had on groups like KKK.

Dr. Ransom | November 23, 2025 at 10:41 pm

I’m more concerned about all the openly paid for twitter influencers who are harping on these marginal, previously unknown foreign twitter accounts. The unified messaging evokes shades of JournOlist.

Olinser | November 23, 2025 at 10:43 pm

Now Elon needs to take the next logical step, and let you see exactly what regions are furnishing the ‘likes’ on the platform (with a separate category for VPN).

Petrushka | November 23, 2025 at 11:18 pm

I found it rather to train X by blocking people and clicking not interested.

rhhardin | November 24, 2025 at 12:07 am

Can’t they just be VPNs? Not unusual to use one especially if your internet provider correctly tags your town.

    henrybowman in reply to rhhardin. | November 24, 2025 at 1:12 am

    As a retired internet provider, I haven’t the slightest idea what you mean by any of that.

      rhhardin in reply to henrybowman. | November 24, 2025 at 2:07 am

      Site time.is gives your location as provided by your isp.

        Christopher B in reply to rhhardin. | November 24, 2025 at 7:32 am

        No, it doesn’t Time.is says I’m in Indianapolis which is an error I’ve seen from numerous websites. I will assure you I’m not using any kind of location spoofing and I’m located several hours drive from there.. It’s a pain in the ass when I’m trying to find out what my local Lowes has in stock.

        Hardly anything about IP protocols is geographically bounded. Even without using VPN the best most services are going to get is a rough approximation that’s worse since the end of dialup, and the CSI scenario of quickly finding a person from their computer’s network connection is a myth. You need a pretty intimate knowledge of both the logical and physical network structure to even attempt it. You are far more likely to get accurate information from the cell phone signal the person is using to upload than their IP address.

        In other words, somebody posting “from Gaza” has little reason to use VPN to spoof their location to Poland, and neither does an American posting about US elections need to set their VPN to Africa. If they are, it’s an exhibition of guilt that they are trying to avoid even basic scrutiny of their activities because it’s mostly useless.

          rhhardin in reply to Christopher B. | November 24, 2025 at 8:03 am

          It’s where the ISP puts their interface to the outside world. My DSL provider never gives my actual town but always some distant (in-state) town where the current machinery is located. Varies over time when the switch stuff on or off.

          You ISP may though use your actual town for the machinery and then you might want to use a VPN.

        Christopher B in reply to rhhardin. | November 25, 2025 at 6:33 am

        You obviously don’t understand what the use case for a VPN is. Spoofing your location to defeat Netflix streaming restrictions is a solution to a First World Problem. VPNs provide encryption as well as higher levels of monitoring and rejection of suspicious traffic IP than your normal ISP.

        As I noted and you admitted, nobody tries to determine your location from your IP address since it is inherently inaccurate. If they are hacking your machine or sniffing out your packets then they can just collect your location from your own data, or they may not even need to know your location at all.

        Like most jew-haters you seem to think the Mossad actually cares about random shitposters in Gaza enough to try to hunt them down. My point is they certainly have the tools to defeat a simple VPN spoof (otherwise how are they taking down high-ranking Hamas figures?) or would simply locate the cell phone or other wireless signals likely being used for the connection since they are there on the ground. The implication that accounts retailing Hamas propaganda are using VPN location spoofing ‘for security’ or ‘by accident’ is just an attempt to muddy the revelation that many of these accounts are likely not anywhere near Gaza.

    Treguard in reply to rhhardin. | November 24, 2025 at 5:00 am

    Nope. You get a special icon if you’re using a VPN to hide your location.

Danny | November 24, 2025 at 12:58 am

Never have I been happier to have been made a fool.

I thought the X stuff was because a lot of people are different online than IRL and felt liberated by Tucker Carlson.

I knew some of it was a foreign influence campaign but I thought at most it could have been only 1/4.

I am relieved to know it was almost all of it.

scooterjay | November 24, 2025 at 3:33 am

ANYTHING related to social media is bogus, as spoof accounts etc. are part of the problem. You have one person portraying one thousand people online, and a collection of bits being on or off can easily be manipulated into trillions of toggled bits.

diver64 | November 24, 2025 at 5:25 am

Quite a number of people including myself have always suspected the vast majority X pro palestinian, anti israel, neo nazi Fuentes supporters are all fake. There is no “MAGA is falling apart with infighting”or “massive swell of “From the river to the sea”. It’s all fake and Musk has exposed it. Anti Israel sentiment is a small hardcore group of activists and college students.

CommoChief | November 24, 2025 at 8:29 am

This was a very good use of tech by Musk/X to pull back the curtain on these bad actors. The notion of foreigners seeking to sow chaos/strife and/or influence policies within the USA and within the center/right in particular is inexcusable. I would caution folks who believe that this ends the discussion about Israel and its relationship with the USA. IMO we’ve ID some of the foreign chaos agents, not all.

There’s also a group of folks very distinct from Fuentes and his ilk who legitimately question whether the current levels of Foreign Aid/Military Aid and old alliances themselves should continue to any nation at present given we are some 3 decades + post Cold War era. These folks ain’t ‘ists, full of isms and phobes’ but are acting in good faith. It would be a severe error to attempt to lump them in with antisemitic kooks like Fuentes. I number myself among this group of good faith questioners and I for one have moved well past the days where fear of false accusations of ‘ists, isms, phobes’ served up as opportunistic ad hominem attacks intended to silence, intimidate or cause reputation damage hold any sting. I suspect most folks who are willing to buck the established orthodox narrative to ask tough questions and demand real answers are similarly unimpressed with finger wagging ‘you can’t say that’ sorts of admonishment.

    ztakddot in reply to CommoChief. | November 24, 2025 at 11:15 am

    I have no problem at all with question who we should be allied with and who we give aid to and in what form if any. It is healthy to have this discussion. It seems we’ve been on autopilot for too long.

      CommoChief in reply to ztakddot. | November 24, 2025 at 3:26 pm

      Thanks I appreciate your open mindedness and willingness to engage v launching immediately into a kind of reflexive attack based on fallacies of ‘if you say America First you’re a bad person’ or the editing to falsely reframe from ‘I have questions/concerns about supporting tax dollars flowing to ANY foreign Nations’ or ‘I have questions/concerns about the wisdom of folks advocating such policies’ being transformed into ‘You hate Israel b/c you’re an antisemitic ahole’.

        ztakddot in reply to CommoChief. | November 24, 2025 at 9:05 pm

        If you say America First, which I do, that doesn’t mean no one next. It just means America has to take care of its own needs and concerns instead of sacrificing them for someone elsewhere who doesn’t appreciate it and hates us to boot.

        There have been a lot of times during the last 20 years when I’ve thrown up my hands and said to hell with America. To be more accurate it’s been more to hell with my “fellow citizens”. I think the idea of America and the attempt to make it successful was good. It just gets subverted more and more frequently.

          CommoChief in reply to ztakddot. | November 25, 2025 at 9:34 am

          Yeah, there’s definitely an element like Fuentes who will co-opt the America First to turn it into something evil with the assistance of bad faith labels from leftists and some folks on the right who despise the current populist economic and foreign policy turn away from globalism and neocon military adventures.

          The danger IMO is refusing to engage. We should want folks like Mark Levine to debate TC and expose the cracks in the positions, inconsistencies and weaknesses of the arguments made. It also forces a defense of the status quo by Levin which he and many others seem to go out of their way to avoid. IMO this creates a void ripe for exploitation by Fuentes when folks with ‘good speech’ refuse to debate those with ‘bad speech’. Refusing to engage only boosts the standing of kooks like Fuentes b/c their kooky ideas aren’t challenged directly to undermine them and Fuentes can point to the refusal to debate as ‘evidence’ that the status quo beneficiaries know their arguments won’t withstand ‘his’ scrutiny in a debate.

Sanddog | November 24, 2025 at 12:06 pm

I read a breathless article this AM about how this is going to be dangerous for people posting from countries where they have far less speech protections. Those people generally aren’t commenting on American politics, non stop and they always use VPNs.

SeiteiSouther | November 24, 2025 at 12:10 pm

Haven’t they since turned the feature off? I really wish they would leave it on.

    Christopher B in reply to SeiteiSouther. | November 25, 2025 at 6:40 am

    I believe it is on permanently now. I just checked a post in my X feed, and the location and connection information for the poster are in their profile. From snatches of what I’ve read this was an update that was announced a couple of months ago and just recently rolled out. There were some glitches that appeared to be mostly in presentation that caused it to be turned off and back on a couple of times. The first was the addition of language that indicated location may not be precise (though I don’t think that applies to Verified accounts). The other addition was a flag raised when the use of a VPN is detected that has a similar disclaimer.

Danny | November 25, 2025 at 12:01 pm

I just logged into X for the first time in a very long time, and on finding that my feed was all neo-Nazi dominated, it did not recommend a single person I was following, or related things I found that accounts are in America.

Sorry not to put too fine a point on it but yes foreign influence organs did amplify them but America does have a far right problem.

    Dimsdale in reply to Danny. | November 25, 2025 at 6:43 pm

    Hmm. I notice quite the opposite: a slew of Democrat based, DNC talking point parroting, antisemitic useful idiots on my forays into the battlefield.

    Foreign or domestic, the left is united in their hatred of Israel and America.

Dimsdale | November 25, 2025 at 6:41 pm

“So many “America First” accounts turned out to be from Pakistan, Egypt, and other places that have no connection to America whatsoever.”

Not entirely true; these countries share a commonality of beliefs with our “esteemed” Democrat socialist party…
