TikToker Ellie Zeiler is receiving flack after explaining the reason behind the soaring gas prices in America in her latest video. This comes after the White House Administration briefed Gen-Z TikTokers about inflation in the States. Followers of the 18-year-old are now attacking her for spreading political information through the video-sharing platform and for “manipulating” her audience.
The White House held a briefing for 30 influential online figures who took their TikTok profiles to speak about their meeting. This included Ellie Zeiler, who has amassed over 10 million followers on the platform.
In the video, she spoke about “why gas prices are so expensive,” where she added that the inflation rate in the States is at a four-time decade high. Stating the reasons behind the same, the TikToker stated:
“two-year pandemic is one of them. When use goes up… the price goes up….”
She spoke about Russia’s role in the global gas supply and how the ongoing war played a role in rising prices. She said:
“Russia is one of the top three producers of oil and it is actually their No. 1 revenue source. Now, with Putin starting this horrific fight between Ukraine and Russia, nobody wants to work with him and do international trade.”
