Is X treating all Kimi-related posts as ads? Multiple content creators have had their accounts locked, and even critical posts were required to be marked as paid.
According to Dongcha Beating AI Express, multiple overseas content creators have reported that recent reviews or comments related to Kimi K3.1 Pro are likely to be flagged by X as paid promotions. Even without receiving payment, their accounts are locked, and they must add a "Paid Partnership" tag to restore their accounts before filing appeals. Reviewer Lumina stated that she only tested the model via Arena before its release, received no payment, and had no advance access from Kimi’s official team, yet two of her posts were penalized. Tech author Ramez Naam encountered the same issue: he only reshared Artificial Analysis’s review and added his own comments. Another creator, Da7em, was even required to add the tag after publicly criticizing Kimi’s subscription service. Some creators have resorted to adding the tag and then deleting their posts to retrieve their accounts, to avoid fans mistakenly thinking they were paid. It remains unclear why X is targeting these posts in a concentrated manner.

Top 50 donors for the 2026 U.S. midterm elections have collectively contributed over $2.77 billion, with crypto firms including Coinbase and Ripple among the leading contributors.
According to The Washington Post’s analysis of Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings as of press time, the top 50 donors in the 2026 U.S. midterm election cycle have contributed a total of approximately $2.77 billion. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tops individual donors with around $446 million, setting a new record for individual political donations in modern U.S. history. His contributions primarily flow to Republican-aligned groups: his own America PAC ($216 million), Senate Leadership Fund ($168 million), and House Leadership Fund ($30 million).
By party leanings, Republican-aligned donations total about $1.67 billion, Democratic-aligned around $832 million, and cross-party and special interest groups account for roughly $264 million.
Crypto and tech-related contributors also rank among the top: a16z co-founders Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz combined for ~$92.2 million (including $23.8 million to Fairshake and $12 million to MAGA Inc.); Coinbase contributed ~$57.8 million (of which $52.5 million went to Fairshake); the Winklevoss brothers gave ~$55.9 million; Ripple donated ~$49.6 million (including $48 million to Fairshake); and crypto firm Foris Dax contributed ~$39 million.
Other notable donors include former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who has donated ~$84.2 million this cycle (with roughly $60 million since September, mostly supporting House Democrats); and OpenAI CEO Greg Brockman and his wife, who combined for ~$50 million.
The Washington Post notes that most funds flow to super PACs, which allow unlimited donations. The list will be updated as FEC filings are submitted.
