Far-right figurehead Laura Loomer has given a grovelling public apology to President-elect Donald Trump‘s AI advisor Sriram Krishnan after she “accidentally doxxed” him.

Loomer took a break from her scheduled programming on X, namely saying Elon Musk is censoring her and then begging for her blue check back, to blurt out the apology after she revealed some of his personal information when she posted his Federal Election Commission records. The advisory body maintains a database of individuals who have made contributions to federally registered political committees. Loomer said her post showed a donation by the Indian national to Kamala Harris.

She later deleted the post and said Krishnan, who moved to the U.S. on an L-1 visa (intra-company transfer) in 2007 to work at Microsoft, may have “felt as though I was trying to ‘doxx’ him.”

Doxxing is the act of maliciously revealing someone’s private information. “I deeply apologize for accidentally doxxing Sriram @sriramk by sharing public FEC records with his personal info."

“It was an honest mistake, and I take full responsibility. I’ve removed the post and I promise that I will be more careful in the future when I post FEC records,” she continued.

She had earlier said she did not intend to “inflict harm.”

“I was posting FEC records which are public information. I was not trying to inflict harm on anyone, & if @sriramk felt as though I was trying to ‘doxx. him, I sincerely apologize for that,“ Loomer wrote. ”I promise I wasn’t doxxing & I believe more speech is the answer. Not less," she added, tagging Elon Musk.

Krishnan has become a MAGA lightning rod in recent days after his name was dragged into a debate around H-B1 visas. He has previously shown support for the visas that are much maligned by Republican hardliners because the system, they say, stymies Americans' individual progress whilst exploiting foreign labor.

Loomer also previously expresseded dismay that Krishnan was appointed President-elect Trump’s AI adviser.

Loomer did not immediately respond to request for comment.

  • Trump's return could deepen rift between MAGA, DOGE factions

    Donald Trump’s return to the White House could deepen the tensions between the MAGA and DOGE factions of the party. Jason Draho, UBS Global Wealth Management’s Head of Asset Allocation, outlines on Market Domination Overtime the key differences between the two: MAGA’s more populist "America First" stance versus DOGE's focus on reducing government spending and leaning on the private sector. Draho explains that DOGE seeks to “reduce the role of government in the private sector,” which he views is beneficial for for capital. He adds "...If you're more pro-immigration, it's sort of less MAGA." Draho believes Trump may lean more DOGE when the rift between the two smooths out, given that he tends to use the stock markets as a gauge for success. "If he's using that as a gauge, real-time gauge of his economic success, then that to me indicates that on net when all the dust settles — it'll lean a little more DOGE or sort of market-friendly," Draho adds.
