NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy. www.texasobserver.org/revealed-ope... - ThreadSky

Obligatory shouts out to my collaborator @trislee.bsky.social and to the extraordinary Twitter/X researcher @travisbrown.dev.

Remember that Elon is currently suing Media Matters to try to put them out of business because they dared to report that there was white supremacist content on Twitter - and he is winning.

I do agree with 9mmSMG on one thing: Arm yourselves. If he sees any non-white owning a gun and defending themselves from him, 9mmSMG would probably piss himself and run away.

Good stuff.
While back, we were digging into one of these goofballs to profile in a potential piece.

Fun details to add…

Gramer apparently owned the domain “haterock.com” for a bit.

And put out his own name in a tweet.
Not sure og content, but some groyper’s reply gave it away.

"While this article was in production, the Anti-Defamation League also identified Cruz as the operator of TheOfficial1984."
Linked newsletter has no mention of Cruz, search of ADL site has no mention either. Did I miss something?

reply

Looks like the ADL updated the content on that link, which serves as a dynamic page for their newsletter

"Vice President" is an extremely common title in banking. Walk into any retail banking branch, and the branch manager's official title will most likely include that phrase.
