A verified Twitter account with a gold checkmark, typically reserved for official organizations, has been openly glorifying Adolf Hitler and posting antisemitic content. The account, previously associated with anti-Zionism and pro-Palestinian causes, has now been linked to pro-Hitler sentiments. The account has been called out for its antisemitic content, including a quote from Hitler, and has been associated with a federal policy advocate at 'Americans United' who referred to Elon Musk as a 'white nationalist'. The tweets have sparked pushback and the locking down of the advocate's account. The situation has drawn attention to the misuse of verified status on Twitter and the spread of hate speech on social media.
A suspicious account on X with 35,000 followers and a gold checkmark, ostensibly reserved for verified “official organizations”, is openly glorifying Adolf Hitler. https://t.co/VX3mnjOqJy
Hitler on X, January 1939: “If international finance Jewry…should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, the result will be not the Bolshevization of the earth and thereby the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe.” Elon: 👀 https://t.co/PSQ5elmgR8
The Defund Israel account is now a full on pro-Hitler account. Their timeline is oozing with antisemitic content. It's always good when they show their true colours and remind us what the pro-Palestinian cause is all about. Hello @elonmusk? https://t.co/wmvnJePoLZ
BREAKING: the "federal policy advocate" at "Americans United" who just called @elonmusk a "white nationalist" just locked down her account after pushback. https://t.co/HCbiif1Ozc
Nazi account with a gold check. At least they’re too stupid to be good at pretending the account is actually about anti-zionism. https://t.co/4QDAsQq0Hv
