Tommy Robinson enjoys a wide range of support from users on X/Twitter.
Or does he?
The problem is we’re not sure how many of Tommy Robinson’s supporters are actually just Tommy Robinson:

As Mukhtar suggests, Robinson has seemingly exposed himself again.
Dear Tommy, love Tommy
To be fair to Robinson, he may not have written the letter to himself. In fact, he may not have written a lot of his social media posts. As Mukhtar highlights, there are posts firing off from the Robinson account which seem to have been ghost written:
If you have been following Tommy Robinson for a while. You know he definitely didn’t write this. They used the R word to sound like him. pic.twitter.com/Ap7A6ciOyK

At this point, it’s increasingly clear that many online accounts are not who they claim to be. Following a recent Twitter update, it’s possible to see which country each user is based in (with an exclamation point showing up wherever someone is using a VPN to ghost their location). The result is we discovered that a lot of supposed nationalists are international scammers who are pushing right-wing talking points to profit from X’s monetisation scheme:
Here’s a fun story, remember all of those “I’m an independent Trump supporting woman” accounts on X that pretended to be real people in the US supporting trump?
Due to recent location updates, we now know almost all of them are based in Thailand.
Let’s take a look

Most shockingly, we discovered that a US Homeland Security account was being operated from Tel Aviv, Israel:
So…X activated locations last night which showed US gov accounts like DHS opened and operating from Israel. Then 20 mins later, X deactivated the feature and today, Gov accts are “exempt” from the location feature. https://t.co/8kiU541EDg pic.twitter.com/3DvM2NkrEM

Some say that Robinson himself is also being operated from Tel Aviv, Israel — a situation which has created a rift between Robinson and other right wingers:
JUST NOW: Tommy Robinson Exposed as Israel First, Not Britain First

Another issue is the number of bot accounts on X, despite Musk having vowed to rid the site of bots entirely. As ABCreported, the number of bots is at least the same (if not higher than before). At the same time, a laxer approach to moderation means hate speech has ramped up considerably:
Hate speech on the platform X spiked by 50 per cent in the months after the billionaire tech mogul bought it, according to analysis by researchers at the University of California and the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute.
Robinson also enjoys significant attention and financial support from site owner Elon Musk:
WOW!!!
I am so humbled, and I can’t thank all of you enough for your support and engagement.
And not forgetting the main man himself @elonmusk who gave me back my voice and saved freedom of speech in the west.
I am eternally grateful to all of you. pic.twitter.com/37EYpaJZzB

Some suspect Musk has artificially boosted Robinson’s account. Whether he did that by tweaking his algorithm or not, it’s certainly the case that Musk has created an online environment where far-right bullshit merchants like Robinson can thrive.
Musk himself is openly engaging in far-right conspiracies and politics now:

‘Remigration’ is the forced deportation of allnon-white people from European nations. Robinson knows all about it, because prominent Remigration proponents spoke at his Unite the Kingdom rally.
Shameless Tommy Robinson
While it’s embarrassing for Robinson to expose himself like this, it’s arguably only as embarrassing as his other activities:
Tommy Robinson said he was taking out the cash out of the country because he can’t bank in the UK. The truth is that he declared himself bankrupt because he owes over £2m. pic.twitter.com/g41dItpH1M

tommy robinson literally lost a libel case after spreading a false allegation about a 15 year old refugee which led to a level of abuse that forced the child’s family to relocate. he then repeated the claims in a film & was sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court. https://t.co/S8lu5jcFBT

According to Musk’s AI Grok, Robinson is just another shameless grifter:
Top UK misinformation accounts according to Grok… Number 1 – that racist grifter Tommy Robinson pic.twitter.com/xTxG2V0ObY

Given the above post, Grok is the one account that we don’t suspect is actually just Tommy Robinson in disguise.
