So it’s really both.
LLMs may always hallucinate, bad actors are also going to poison models they have control over, but even “good” or “neutral” LLMs are useful to fascists. Because part of the fascist playbook it’s to remove meaning and facts from the language they use. Often their appeal to recruits is that they are telling them what they want to hear or feel, sometimes based on a truth or fact, but it doesn’t matter to the fascists, just like it doesn’t matter to the LLMs.
