I wonder if they're aware of the irony of posting this to X. I checked their profile and they use Threads as well. Also, why is their location in Nigeria?

I googled the name and the only thing that came up was a reddit profile posting similar content with the handle zak_jony

Lots of people in developing nations are taking jobs playing multiple characters on X. When X started displaying country of origin on each account, a lotta popular MAGA accounts were outed as Nigerian or Indian or similar. With AI, people can catfish the whole internet on a whole new level.

Yep, and we shouldn't be amplifying them by posting here

Actually he probably just informed people of the problem, instead of pretending it doesn't exist.

Who are they informing? Libertarians and bots?

Could be that they set their location to Nigeria for shits and giggles like how I set my Chess dot com location to Aland and Steam is set to Antarctica. Could also be a bot farm though, kinda a coin flip on that one. Oh also they moved to Nigeria for some reason.
