After OpenAI, Elon Musk’s X says 200,000 China-linked bots targeted US AI debate

X, formerly Twitter, found a bot farm of 200,000 accounts. These accounts posted content to influence American AI and energy policy debates. The posts claimed AI data centers raise electricity prices and strain the grid. This discovery follows similar claims made by OpenAI regarding Chinese influence operations. Both platforms are committed to maintaining an authentic online discussion space.
