Nuclear Tweet Goes Viral

“American media commentator Tucker Carlson warned in a tweet posted before the U.S. midterm elections that the United States could be just days away from a nuclear strike on the ‘Mount Bikaaks’ site in Iran. He claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was pushing President Donald Trump toward such a strike, and that a decision might be made by November 7. No official source has confirmed these claims, which Carlson attributed to unnamed ‘well-informed observers.’ The tweet drew nearly 45 million views in 12 hours and, according to documented screenshots, surpassed 40 million. A sample of 172 quote posts about it received 21.4 million views. More than four in ten users who quoted the tweet took the warning seriously, while about one-fifth questioned or rejected it; their quote posts accounted for only 8% of the sample’s views.”
