There's two real parts to this, right? There's, first is Elon Musk's Twitter.

And a lot of your viewers might remember the whole saga about the blue check marks on Twitter, the verified check marks.
很多观众可能还记得关于推特蓝V标记(核验标记)的整个事件。
Musk has basically taken all of those away and is selling them now to people who want to get a blue check mark.
马斯克把蓝V标记基本上都收走了，现在又把它们卖给那些想要得到蓝V标记的人。
So whereas before, if you had a blue tick on Twitter, it meant that Twitter had verified you are the person or the organization you're claiming to be.
而以前，如果你是推特蓝V，这意味着推特已经验证了你是你所声称的个人或组织。
That's not really the case.
但事实并非如此。
So what happened this morning was somebody posted using an account that they claimed was linked to the Bloomberg News organization, posting that AI generated image and claiming there had been some kind of explosion at the Pentagon.

That then got shared across multiple other verified accounts that we saw it on other platforms, too.
接着，我们在其他平台上也看到了多个经过验证的账户分享了这个推文。
It looked quite coordinated, but we don't know right now who pushed this.
看起来协调得很好，但我们现在尚不清楚推动者是谁。
