Recent investigations by NBC News have revealed a significant presence of pro-Nazi content on the social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk. The reports indicate that at least 150 paid 'Premium' subscriber accounts, along with thousands of unpaid accounts, have been involved in posting or amplifying content that praises Nazi ideology, including speeches by Adolf Hitler and denials of the Holocaust. This content has not only violated X's own rules but has also attracted millions of views, potentially generating substantial advertising revenue. The issue has sparked controversy and criticism directed at the platform's moderation policies under Musk's leadership.

Jackson Hinkle aids and abets enemies of both the United States and Israel: the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hamas, and the Houthis, whose motto is “Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse upon the Jews.” Why on earth is The New York Times normalizing Jackson Hinkle? https://t.co/47pWdPOw4N

So apparently the @nytimes thought it was a good idea to shamelessly promote a hateful propagandist by the name of Jackson Hinkle, who now appears to be a member of a Iranian militia that calls for “death to America.” How is such an open fifth columnist still on X, @elonmusk?… https://t.co/rizlD3hesv
