1/ Last month I told a room of Baltic intelligence officers and diplomats that Donald Trump is an asset of Russian intelligence. Not one of them blinked. "Of course," they said. Ho hum. But in America, saying it out loud is still taboo. Why? 🧵

2/ Grok also told me that one of the Talarico videos got
"more than 850,000 views within the first 24 hours." It also noted a related post exceeding 1.3 million views." Even though X suspended the originating account, residual copies continued circulating .

The Sherrod Brown deepfakes were not as consistently documented, Grok said. It said copies remained available with “hundreds of shares.” @noUpside @sgcarney

craigunger.substack.com Even Grok Admits That X Is Promoting Lies Elon Musk’s AI knows that Russian bots are sliming Sherrod Brown with fake sex charges-but Grok promotes them anyway. Just another way America’s first trillionaire uses X to win elections for the GOP.

1/ According to Elon Musk's Grok, Russia's deepfake operation Storm-1516 "remains active and has produced additional deepfakes and related disinformation in recent weeks, including around the U.S. midterms."

But it adds that "there is no indication of automatic, systemic labeling or blocking of all Storm-1516 content" by X." It added that "X has taken action on related inauthentic activity in past cycles but does not appear to proactively or fully neutralize the operation."
