Conservative commentator Laura Loomer has alleged a surge of “fake AI accounts” on social media platform X, claiming they are spreading “anti-Trump and pro-Iran” messaging amid geopolitical tensions and news of a ceasefire announcement by the US president.
In a post on X, Loomer questioned what she described as an “AI foreign influence operation,” writing: “Have you noticed how many fake AI accounts post like they are real people on X? They are all anti-Trump and pro-Iran.”
She further alleged that such accounts could be identified by their writing style, adding: “You can tell it’s AI by the writing style. These are fake people inflaming chaos in the US.”

The post drew a range of responses, with users both supporting and pushing back against Loomer’s claims.

Several comments also shifted focus to political frustrations, with one user writing: “F*** Iran, but also Trump for starting this war."
