In a bombshell revelation, Narativ has obtained leaked documents from Russian intelligence services that directly implicate Elon Musk and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in amplifying Kremlin-created propaganda. The confidential files, originating from Russia's 'Social Design Agency' (SDA), provide unprecedented insight into Moscow's ongoing efforts to manipulate U.S. public opinion and policy.

According to the documents, the SDA operates under the direct supervision of Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Its primary mission is to create and disseminate content designed to influence U.S. policy on Ukraine and sow discord among the American public.

First evidence that Elon Musk uses X to push Kremlin propaganda to his Millions of followers.

Meeting minutes reveal that Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), shared a meme created by Russian operatives featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The document states: 

"The meme with the image of Volodymyr Zelensky, created by 'ASD', was shared by X and its owner - billionaire Elon Musk - on the social network." 

This meme, designed to weaken America's support for Ukraine, reached an estimated 95 million users.

Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed a wholly fabricated narrative about Ukrainian child human trafficking.

The leaks also show that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene amplified a wholly fabricated story about Ukrainian child trafficking. One report notes the operation's success: "The new team made a fake theft of children. Americans seriously published. Success!"

A video presentation obtained by Narativ features Ilya Gambashidze, head of the SDA, explaining the agency's methods. Wearing a hoodie emblazoned with "Russian ideological troops" and "commander of special forces" patches, Gambashidze outlines their three-pronged approach: monitoring, analytics, and creative content production.

These revelations come amid growing concern about Russian influence in U.S. media and politics. Last week, documents surfaced linking Russia Today to Russian intelligence services and identifying 600 U.S.-based paid influencers as Russian agents.

Hillary Clinton calls for civil or criminal actions against Americans involved in Russian propaganda. 

Narativ's host, Zev Shalev, emphasized the urgency of addressing this threat to American democracy. Guest expert Olga Lautman, host of the Kremlin Files podcast, called for stricter measures against those spreading Russian propaganda, echoing recent comments by Hillary Clinton suggesting potential civil or criminal charges for Americans engaged in such activities.

As this story develops, it becomes increasingly clear that Russia's web of influence extends far beyond what many Americans realize. The implications for U.S. democracy and national security are profound and demand immediate attention from policymakers and the public alike.

Narativ will continue to investigate this story. Check back for updates.

The leaks from the SDA were first obtained by the German outlets Sueddeutsche Zeitung, NDR, and WDR,
