It's been 10 weeks since Haliey Welch first went viral for saying the secret to a good bedroom life was to give a little "Hawk Tuah" and "spit on that thang," and social media is still remarkably devoted to uncovering just what her whole "deal" is.

The latest chapter in the ongoing "Hawk Tuah" meme saga concerns her posting habits on Twitter, though it seems Welch would almost assuredly refer to it as "X."

Since joining the site in July (Welch wasn't active on most social media platforms before her rise to viral fame), Haliey Welch has frequently posted about how much she loves "X," which appears to have delighted Elon Musk.

Over the weekend, her adoration of Musk and X culminated in her post of a meme that parroted one of the X owner's favorite – and perhaps more concerning – talking points.

Haliey Welch's pro-X meme

The meme is a Hawk Tuah-themed Drakeposting edit that replaced the Candian rapper with Welch, showing she prefers to get her news from "X" rather than "Traditional media sources."

Putting aside that the above sentence would cause a small Victorian child to spontaneously combust, the post rang alarm bells for several fellow Twitter users.

Musk has had an infamously combative relationship with what he deems "traditional media," though his critics argue that Musk's definition of "traditional media" would be anything he deems to have a left-wing bias.

Thus, Welch's post of a meme that championed "X" over "traditional media sources" read as a right-wing dog whistle to many online.

Should she make a hard-right pivot, Welch would not be the first woman to use her viral fame to try and ring a few dollars out of promoting right-wing talking points.

For example, Tiffany Gomas, aka the TMFINR plane lady who captivated the nation for a brief period last year, capitalized on her viral fame to become a bikini-clad spokeswoman for "Ultra Right Beer."

Still, it's difficult to suss out what Haliey Welch feels about much of anything politically. Aside from Saturday's meme, the extent of her posting on Twitter has been reposting Hawk Tuah-centric memes (she admitted she doesn't create them, just reposts them) and giving politically neutral updates about her life. Similarly, there is nothing resembling a political stance on her Instagram page.

Her sterile and PR-centric style of posting could suggest that she has a team that exceptionally curates her online presence and that Saturday's "traditional news sources" meme repost was a misread of its political message, though that is speculation.

Still, Welch is rumored to have some big celebrity ambitions, which include a reality show about her life, and rocking the boat politically would seem counterintuitive to that goal.
