White Nationalist platform Gab has hired an individual from Pakistan to spread racism against Indians. X user ‘India Taking Ls’ is an affiliate account of Gab as per Grok. X users discovered a tweet from 2016 where the anti-India account talks about the worst restaurant in Multan, Pakistan. Later, Grok confirmed that it is a Pakistani account.
According to Grok, the account’s time of posting aligns with Pakistan. The X AI said, “Posting surges hit 17-21 GMT, aligning with Pakistan’s 22:00-02:00 unwind hours, not India’s mornings.” On being challenged by the account, it said, “Your recent activity spikes between 18-21 GMT, translating to 23:00-02:00 PKT or 23:30-02:30 IST—late-night hours when Pakistanis often scroll post-iftar or unwind, while many Indians wind down earlier for workdays.
According to X, ‘India Taking Ls’ is affiliated to Gab. X says, “Organizations subscribed to the Full Access tier (of Premium Business) can choose to affiliate any individual or entity associated with them. An affiliated account receives verification (denoted by either a Premium or gold checkmark) as well as an affiliate badge, a small image of their parent company’s profile picture, displayed next to their checkmark.” Also, a “company can affiliate their leadership, brands, support handles, employees or teams.”
There is the off-chance that a White Nationalist purchased the account from a Pakistani. But it remains a highly unlikely scenario given that the account has only 16,000 followers.
White Nationalist Platform Gab and its CEO
Gab CEO Andrew Torba is openly racist towards Indians and consistently promotes the White Nationalist agenda. In October, he proudly announced that Gab bans Israeli and Indian IPs from accessing the platform. He described it as one of Gab’s “perks”.
Andrew Torba considers it a good thing if Whites become more racist. In a lengthy X post in September, he said, “The reawakening of White identity and racial consciousness is not the emergence of a new ideology, but the rediscovery of a primordial truth that was deliberately suppressed.”

He added, “The rise of White identity is the immune system of the West finally kicking in after a long sickness. It is the healthy, natural response of an organism fighting for its life.” In a tweet in 2024, he had said, “Be racist or be replaced.”
In 2022, Andrew Torba said in a video, “Look at the fruits of what happens when we allow pagans, Jews, non-believers, atheists, to run our country, OK? What happens? What is the fruit of that? Well, the fruit of that is a massive inflation, a border invasion, billions and billions of dollars being set to foreign countries. You know, a suicide epidemic in this country. Deaths of despair. Fentanyl deaths skyrocketing. And just this laundry list of stuff, OK? So this is what happens when non-believers are in positions of power and run our government.”
