𧡠Europe Invasion Investigation
— Linus Svensson (@its_linus) September 22, 2024
1/ We dug into Europe Invasion, a blue tick X account spreading disinformation, xenophobia, and Islamophobia. @elonmusk has boosted it several times, and police say its fake news helped spark the riots in the UK earlier this summer.
The called out came to defend themselves:
You are disgraced because of this idiot journ*list @its_linus

Do you think what you do is journ*lism? Reporting on lies is not journ*lism.
I am here and I am not afraid. If you come to Kotor or Budva, I will give an interview to your f*cking newspaper (Except for S*b Linus)β¦ https://t.co/hkt6hUDDmF
As proof they posted a random recording of a town in serbia
OP quickly factchecks him, turns out while his name checks out he is still Turkish
UPDATE: 21/ When we first contacted the supposed ad agency in early September, we did receive a response from a "Stefan," who declined our interview request. Notably, his email client was set to Turkish. After I pointed this out today, he switched it to English. pic.twitter.com/e0RXXVVswA
