Recently, several users on social media platform X have claimed to earn 'thousands of dollars' by posting fake information related to the US elections, AI-generated images, and various unfounded conspiracy theories. These users often share each other's content online, retweeting multiple times a day to increase their exposure and revenue. A BBC investigation found that these users have formed networks consisting of dozens of accounts that interact with each other, sharing a mix of true and false information with the aim of boosting their presence on the platform.

Former President Trump shared an AI-generated image of Taylor Swift supporting him on the social media platform Truth Social, claiming he was not involved in its creation. One image depicted Taylor Swift as 'Uncle Sam,' accompanied by a slogan supporting Trump. Trump stated he was unaware of these images and that they were generated by others. He further indicated that AI technology could pose dangers and seemed confused about the origins and content of these images. This action came after he previously accused Vice President Kamala Harris of using AI to create fake images.
