Overview

• Analysts traced over 400 AI-driven accounts on X created in batches across three days last year with patterns pointing to large language model origins.
• Since 2024 the bots have automatically praised Trump administration figures, notably Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
• The accounts display distinct tactics such as irrelevant hashtags, near-verbatim reposts and targeted replies to verified conservative users.
• Almost simultaneously after Bondi declined to release additional Jeffrey Epstein documents, the network began posting opposing views on her handling of the files.
• Investigators have not identified who runs the network or which specific AI model is powering its automated replies.
