Hunter Biden Keeps Sharing Too Much Information On X

The former first son is marking seven years of sobriety with a burst of social media activity that has drawn a surprising amount of attention online. Hunter, 56, began posting again on X last month after leaving the account inactive for years. The comeback was unexpected enough that some users initially questioned whether the posts were real.

They were. And the account quickly took off.

Hunter has gained nearly half a million followers, many of whom have responded to his blunt tone, self-deprecating humor and willingness to joke about controversies that once made him a political target.

On Monday, he posted about reaching seven years of sobriety. When one user accused him of being responsible for the bag of cocaine found in the West Wing in 2023, Hunter fired back: “It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs.”

The response went viral, drawing more than 242,000 likes.

A few days later, Hunter responded to a photoshopped image that showed him with what appeared to be a drug pipe in his mouth. Rather than ignore it, he corrected the image with a joke.

“I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people… photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth,” he wrote Thursday. “A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

That post also caught fire, pulling in more than 146,000 likes. It came in response to a mock Hunter 2028 campaign poster with the slogan, “Let’s smoke the competition.”

But Hunter has not only been joking. He has also written openly about the misery of addiction and the toll it took on his life.

“There was zero glory in my addiction,” he wrote in one post. “It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daily, but didn’t have the courage for even that.”
