Donald Trump Jr.'s personal account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, was hacked on Wednesday and began making erratic and absurd posts.

A spokesperson for Trump confirmed the hack to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, saying the content on the account had been "false and inflammatory." The account has more than 10 million followers.

"I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024," read one of the hacker's posts.

"This just in: North Korea is about to get smoked," another read.
