Edit 3: The Daily Beast has now confirmed some locations in the tweet:

Dozens of major accounts masquerading as “America First” or “MAGA” proponents have been identified as originating in places such as Russia, India, and Nigeria.

Edit 2: Here is another one from a commenter in the comments. Again, take locations with a grain of salt:

A large number of MAGA social media influencers were exposed over the weekend as being being based in other countries.

Edit: This was reported as having zero citations and they're right. I haven't had my coffee yet. Because I was interested, I did find this article about it saying that it was removed quickly. Please take this with a grain of salt as to the locations.

It's unclear exactly why X quickly removed the feature shortly after rolling it out to the public. However, Bier replied to some X users who were reporting that their "About this account" was showing inaccurate information, which may be the reason why the feature was taken down.

We'll soon find out if Musk's social media platform reinstates the feature.

This is attracting a lot of trolls. I'm going to leave it up for a little while, but don't take the bait please. If I see bait, I'm removing the chain, not just the OG comment.
