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 X has publicly expressed support for protesters in Iran.
According to reports, certain accounts belonging to Iranian regime officials had check marks, indicating that they were premium accounts. However, after an inquiry from WIRED, these check marks were removed from the accounts in question. This raises questions about X‘s adherence to US sanctions and its policies regarding the sale of premium accounts to individuals from sanctioned countries.
The implications of this discovery are significant, and it remains to be seen how X will address these concerns and ensure compliance with US sanctions going forward. As the situation unfolds, it will be important to monitor X‘s response and any potential consequences that may arise from this alleged violation.
