Kalshi asks paid influencers to delete posts sowing doubts over LA mayoral election
Kalshi on Friday asked some of its paid political influencers to remove X posts that sowed doubt about the integrity of the Los Angeles mayoral election while promoting Kalshi odds, a spokesperson told Semafor.
Earlier this week X user Gunther Eagleman, a MAGA influencer with 1.7 million followers, wrote a series of posts claiming that the Los Angeles mayoral election was being stolen from Spencer Pratt.
“Is CA cheating to get Spencer Pratt out?” he wrote in a post, quote tweeting Kalshi prediction market odds on who would advance in the LA mayoral election.
“They’re stealing it, aren’t they?” Eagleman said in another post viewed by hundreds of thousands of users.
Despite their virality on X, such posts wouldn’t stand out much in a political world where paranoia about election integrity is the hallmark trait of the highest ranking US government official. But the posts noted that they were part of a paid partnership with Kalshi, the prediction market where users can wager on which candidate would emerge winners from this week’s primary election.

His wife Heidi Montag is one too. Her Instagram has 1.1 million followers. Tiktok too.
These are the people voting for him. The dim followers who can't think for themselves and need influencers to tell them what clothes to wear, what lipstick to wear.. what shampoo to use.. what to eat.. what to drink.. and now WHO TO VOTE FOR. This is stupid and dangerous.
And it's exponential... one person shares it then that person shares it and so on. So these dumb shits are influencing elections.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR 
Influencers... celebrities.... who's worse?
