Ruh, roh.


FWIW what I said above...

SparkToro used the same audit on Musk himself and found that nearly 70.2% of Musk’s 93.3 million Twitter followers were fake.

Click farms and bot farms are nothing new. I wonder if these reports of bot followers are from paid for by the person or if they were paid for by someone else that benefits in some way.

It would be rather embarrassing if Elon was paying for follower bots while complaining about follower bots being so evil.

I seriously doubt that someone like Musk cares enough to buy bots for himself. Just him being him and doing what he does is enough for him to have more real followers than he likely cares about. Most of the bots are likely of the variety that follow to auto-scrape for data as dynamic content on some website, somewhere.

Heck, this site is crawled daily by thousands of bots from search engines, and Tweets now show up in Google searches, so a LOT of followers could easily be bots especially on high-profile personas. News sites/stations probably each have a hundred bots following someone like him just as part of their daily automated processes looking for news, then there's all the engines out there that attempt to track what is trending, and the only way to do that is to somehow be aware of *everything* and on and on.... it's not like he's an out of work actor trying to give the appearance that they're "somebody" and "in demand".

I don't think his claims about the bots will hold up in court when Twitter sues him for breach of contract. My guess is he has to pay the $1B fee for backing out of the deal or they reach an undisclosed agreement and part ways,

how come the people who whine about the global elites the most turn around and cheerlead for Elon, a global elitist?

i'm still at a loss at how Elon buying or not buying Twitter benefits or hurts any of us at the everyday level. i always looked at this at some rich dude buying something because he's bored.

Elon is doing the equivalent of some rich dude buying a sports team, and yet we got posters and other american hyping this up as if this was gonna change society or something.

my the best guess i came up with is that like Trump, people are projecting their wants and desires onto a dude who's lifestyle they're envious of. maybe that's not accurate, but it sure seems these dudes are worshipping elon like they did/doing with trump.

i guess i look at elon as just another billionaire. i certainly dont want to have the mentality of a dude who sets up his kids up for societal failure by giving them some of the dumbest names at birth imaginable. but he did it, just like any other celebrity does, but yet i thought these dudes didn't like the elite class? so hey i'm confused over the confusing actions these guys are displaying.

Who are you complaining at? The only people who complain about elites are liberals.

I liked the posibility of Elon taking over twitter for 3 reasons: 1) stop banning people with unpopular opinions 2) get rid of the bots 3) popcorn munching because Elon stirs the pot

That aside, I thought this deal was done/not done very unprofessionally. It should have been private up until the ink is dry. Not a circus show.

?? yall literally called everybody a globalist elite, whined about celebrities, and then voted for trump in 2016 and in record numbers in 2020. Elon told everybody he's voting republican and conservatives were hanging off his balls like a sack swinging on some loser's lifted pick up truck.

Elon is a globalist celebrity elitist ,and yall can't stop riding his junk. it's just funny to me, because it wouldn't matter if yall just owned up to the fact that you like men like them two. it's just funny and frustrating when yall hype these dudes up, then turn around and get mad that people are pointing out how fake yall are.

i mean, nobody forced you to be that fake. this is america, you CHOSE to be fake, ya know? i CHOOSE to point it out, as is my right to freedom of speech.

I dont recall any GOPers on this forum complaining about Elon. Receipts please.

The left, such as yourself, complain all day every day about capitalists and elites.

So maybe youre bitching about yourself. Put the bong down.

This is losing my attention. So I will say.... LMAO Swish over here making up stories about GOPers (who have no problem with capitalism and elites) to cover up his not so secret hatred of capitalism and elites.

I would have not cared at all until Elon’s sudden swing to the right and saying he would retstore banned accounts, aka Trump back on twitter. Then I cared a lot.

Money doesn't make people elitist.

AOC is elitist. She feels her opinion is more important than anybody else's.

I am just picking her. We can come up with a long list of people who think they are in some elite class.
