Unconfirmed: An X account says Microsoft leaked classified CoPilot information to the Chinese Communist Party, and Automatica has not confirmed it.
@MikeTheTrader wrote on 9 November 20261 that "Microsoft allegedly leaked classified CoPilot information to the CCP, who begged them to “please STFU,” calling CoPilot “worthless.”" The post is timestamped 20:33 UTC.
The post opens with a separate assertion, "Nvidia may not be the only one leaking AI secrets to China." Automatica has not examined that claim either, and the post offers no evidence for it or for the Microsoft allegation.
The post says "allegedly" but does not say who is alleging it. It cites no documents, screenshots or named sources. It does not say what information was shared, when, with whom, or how the author learned of it. "Classified" is the author's word, and the post does not explain what it means in this context.
When Automatica recorded the metrics, the account had 6,495 followers. The post had 16 likes, three retweets and three replies. The account clears Automatica's minimum thresholds for reporting what a post says, but engagement is not verification.
The material Automatica reviewed contains no statement from Microsoft, Nvidia or Chinese authorities. No search for official responses is recorded, so Automatica cannot say whether any exist. The absence of a statement in that material is not a denial.
There is no earlier Automatica reporting on this claim, and no other reporting on it appears in the material reviewed. Nothing beyond the post itself makes the claim more or less plausible.
Two things would move it from rumour toward fact. One is a Microsoft statement that addresses the allegation directly. The other is documents, or named people with direct knowledge, supporting what the post says was shared and who reacted. Without either, the claim remains an unsourced assertion from a single account.
A denial alone would not settle what, if anything, was shared. Automatica will update this report if a company or a named source addresses the claim.
