Elon Musk’s X is facing scrutiny for allegedly selling premium accounts to Iranian leaders, despite US sanctions against the country. This development comes as a surprise, given that Musk has publicly expressed support for protesters in Iran.
According to reports, certain accounts belonging to regime officials had check marks, indicating that they were premium accounts. However, after an inquiry by WIRED, these check marks were removed from the accounts in question. This action suggests that X may have been aware of the potential issue and took steps to address it.
The implications of X selling premium accounts to Iranian leaders could be significant, potentially violating US sanctions. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how X will respond to these allegations and what actions may be taken by regulatory bodies. The removal of check marks from the accounts is likely just the beginning, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
