Austin Steinbart, also known as "Baby Q" and Q+, is an IT professional who claimed to be the leader of the QAnon movement, stating that Q is himself living decades in the future and posting back in time via "quantum" technology. He gained a small following among QAnon supporters, but his claims were met with skepticism and derision within the wider QAnon community. Steinbart has faced legal difficulties and has been in federal custody for violating the terms of his pretrial release. While he has attracted a group of dedicated followers, his claims about being Q and his questionable past make it difficult to take his assertion seriously.
