Elon Musk’s X Is Reportedly Taking Money From Members of Terrorist Groups

Twitter (now rebranded “X”) is a place where all are, indeed, welcome—including, apparently, state-sanctioned terrorist groups with whom the U.S. is currently at war. This is actually the second time that the group has warned that X is accepting payments from terrorists. A similar report was released in February of 2024, warning that Hezbollah and other sanctioned groups were active on the platform. It’s unclear why X has so many apparent terrorist groups active on its website, although it’s worth pointing out that Musk has not been known to prioritize content moderation or user vetting. Outside of just being a really bad look for the social media platform, X’s reported financial dealings with such groups appear to be illegal.
