MAGA influencer Laura Loomer called out Elon Musk’s X on Thursday for continuing to allow Iran-linked assassination propaganda to be published on the site.

“The Iranian, IRGC affiliated account ‘Explosive Media’ has released another pro-Iran assassination video in which they claim they will be sending someone to hunt me down and shoot me ‘face to face,’” Loomer posted to X, while sharing the clip. She added:

“Looks like you’re the target we got” they say in their video where they insinuate they will find me “face to face”.

Why is this account allowed on X? @elonmusk

Despite all of these videos beginning and ending with a call to “KT”, which means “Kill Trump”, the only US official in the Trump administration I’ve seen call these videos out is @SecRubio Marco Rubio, who called Iran’s LEGO videos “stupid” last week.

In the clip, other media figures like Ben Shapiro are named on a hit list with Trump, Peter Thiel, and GOP megadonor Miriam Adelson.

Earlier in the week, Iran released a clip called “How to Kill Melania Trump.” The clip was very similar to one Iran put out about President Donald Trump, and it purported to show the First Lady’s movements and security detail routes. It showed images of her motorcade moving through New York City streets and name-checks stores it claims she likes to shop at.

Iran has a long history of putting out disturbing and often silly propaganda clips, some of which in recent months have included Legos like the one Loomer shared.

Earlier in the month, Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed the clips as “stupid” while discussing the stalled negotiations with Iran. “They aren’t ready to do a deal yet, but they will be soon. Because the price they are paying is very high, despite their stupid LEGO videos they are putting out. I’ve never seen them, but they put these things out on social media,” he told reporters.
