X has taken action against journalists and researchers who revealed the alleged identity of a neo-Nazi cartoonist named Stonetoss. Critics argue that this incident once again highlights Elon Musk's support for extremists on his platform. The antifascist research group Anonymous Comrades Collective claimed that Stonetoss is actually Hans Kristian Graebener from Spring, Texas. Stonetoss cartoons, known for their racist and antisemitic content, have gained popularity among right-wing communities. The group linked Stonetoss to another anonymous racist cartoonist called Red Panels by comparing their voices on extremist podcasts. They also found evidence linking Graebener to the Red Panels accounts on Gab.
X has locked and suspended the accounts of journalists and researchers who shared the alleged identity of a neo-Nazi cartoonist known as Stonetoss after the cartoonist appealed to site owner Elon Musk . The incident, critics say, highlights once again how Musk has not only welcomed extremists onto his platform but has repeatedly boosted their conspiracies, engaged with their accounts, and seems to have protected them from scrutiny.
A lengthy X thread posted by the antifascist research group Anonymous Comrades Collective last week claimed that Stonetoss is a man named Hans Kristian Graebener from Spring, Texas. Stonetoss cartoons, which feature simple and colorful imagery coupled with racist, homophobic, and antisemitic language, have become hugely popular among right-wing communities since they were first published at least seven years ago. In its telling, the antifascist research group linked the Stonetoss cartoonist to another anonymous racist cartoonist known as Red Panels by comparing their voices from appearances on extremist podcasts. The researchers say they found an email address linked to Graebener that was used to register the Red Panels accounts on the far-right social media platform Gab. Then, the group says, it was able to match up comments made by Stonetoss with events in Graebener’s life
