In the wake of Hurricane Milton and the tornadoes it spawned, Russian state media outlet RIA posted images on its Telegram account of Disney World completely submerged. However, upon further inspection, it was revealed that these images were completely fake. Not only were the buildings not accurate, but some were also created using AI. The fake images were also shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, by right-wing influencer Mario Nawfal, contributing to their spread. TikTok has also seen some over-the-top videos showcasing the supposed destruction at Disney World, which were originally created as a joke but are now being taken seriously by some.
