Spotted: X Gives Verification Checkmarks to ‘God’, 2 Jesus Christs

At least three X (formerly Twitter) accounts are currently impersonating revered Christian figures, God and Jesus Christ, without clearly identifying as parody, raising new concerns about X’s enforcement of its verification and impersonation policies.

The accounts, which speak in the first person and publish posts in English, are verified and actively engage with users as if they were divine entities.

Unlike many parody or fan accounts on X that carry disclaimers in line with the platform’s rules, the profiles posing as ‘God’ and ‘Jesus Christ’ display no such labels. Instead, they present themselves as legitimate figures, complete with verification badges and tens of thousands of followers.

Briefing Brew found that the account using the handle @god, which was created in January 2007, listed its location as ‘Mount Olympus’ and profession as ‘Social Media Influencer.’ Its bio reads: “He who has everything but God has nothing.” The account had wiped all older content, and historical data showed it had changed its handle from ‘god’ to ‘God’ between October 2024 and July 2025.

Another account, @jesuschrist, claims ‘Nazareth’ as its location and ‘Religious School’ as its profession. Also verified, it had over 7,200 followers as of July 7. Both the ‘God’ and ‘Jesus Christ’ accounts follow each other and have occasionally interacted publicly on the platform.

Additionally, a more prominent Jesus account, @jesus, boasts over 851,000 followers and is also active without parody disclaimers, as confirmed in an archived snapshot reviewed by FIJ.

According to X’s own verification policy, accounts “must have no signs of being misleading or deceptive,” and the impersonation of individuals or entities without clear parody or fan disclaimers is a violation. While parody and fan accounts are allowed under certain guidelines, they are required to make their status clear in both name and bio.

Despite this, these deity-impersonating accounts have managed to secure verification badges, potentially misleading millions of users.
