Nikki Haley's social media storm: 26 tweets in 40 minutes spark hacking speculations

Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley caused a stir on social media with a rapid-fire barrage of 26 tweets within 40 minutes. The tweets covered a range of topics, from sharp criticism of Russia, its President Vladimir Putin, and former President Donald Trump, to comments on U.S. immigrant laws. The unusual tweeting spree began around 5:00 pm, GMT-5, with tweets appearing unrelated and lacking context.



Speculation quickly arose among users, with many questioning whether the tweets were made in error by a staffer or if Haley's account had been hacked. One user suggested that a staffer using Tweetdeck (now X Pro) for the first time might have scheduled all of Haley's posts for the week to drop within the hour, leading to the rapid succession of tweets.


Social media users reacted with a mix of confusion and amusement, with some jokingly speculating about the staffer responsible for the incident. Despite the online buzz, Haley has remained silent on the matter, leaving netizens to ponder the motive behind the unexpected tweet storm.
