7: Trump, Musk

He’s a Master of Outrage on X. He’s Also Broke. An online creator went from a “nobody” to a conspiratorial sensation on X. What he gets in return is less clear. ........... “Is there any possibility,” he asked, “for names such as Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, to ever, just possibly, get investigated?” ........ Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary, called the question “refreshing.” .......... Mr. McGee is one of the most prominent right-wing influencers on X, with 1.5 million followers and billions of views. He was ranked the third-most-influential user on the platform in January last year by one analytics firm, behind Elon Musk, the site’s owner, and Andrew Tate, a notorious right-wing misogynist. ......... stoking outrage is effectively Mr. McGee’s job: he starts posting around 9 a.m. and continues until 8 p.m. nearly every day. ........ His trip to the White House offered a boost of attention online, but he ultimately lost money on the flights and rushed back home to his one-bedroom apartment in Miami. ......... “Maybe I got to break the law, maybe I got to sell drugs, I might have to join a gang,” he said while slouching over the kitchen island that doubles as his home office. “It was a lot of things in a narrow point of view that I had.” .......... He enlisted in the Army, where he stayed for three years before he was honorably discharged. He enrolled at Pennsylvania State University for business, through a program for veterans, but never graduated. He promoted rap music with an independent label and dabbled in fashion design. He even started a credit repair company after his credit score went almost as low as it can go........ Then social media changed his life........ it wasn’t until he promoted conspiracy theories about election fraud that his political beliefs became a career. His follower count exploded, and he created “Win the Win,” one of the largest Facebook groups devoted to election fraud conspiracy theories, which had more than 61,000 followers before Facebook banned it as part of a sweeping crackdown on election falsehoods. He became a registered Republican, donated to Mr. Trump’s campaign and voted for him in the last election. ........... He later wrote a post about Ms. Clinton, who had posted on X that Qatar expected something in return for donating a jet worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Mr. Trump. Mr. McGee called her post “a radical and unhinged conspiracy theory.” Commenters swarmed the post, calling her a “serial criminal” and “evil.”

Mr. Abu Shabab’s group, the Popular Forces, is believed to comprise a relatively small number of members. It is unclear how many people are in its ranks, but it is much smaller than Hamas.
