Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Always worth remembering that Donald Trump is a reality tv star. Nothing boosts the ratings like an unexpected plot twist.

Trump says 'we'll be selling' F-35s to Saudi Arabia.
Just coincidentally, Trump Org is in talks that could bring a Trump-branded property to one of Saudi Arabia’s largest government-owned real estate developments
