This whole thing where people on the right pretend that they're plucky underdogs standing up against an intolerant and all-powerful left is so fecking tiresome by this point.

You'd think that one of the richest people in the world trying that line when he's literally in the process of trying to pay about 550,000 times the US median household income to buy a social media company on which he was 94 million followers would be a bit on-the-nose, but apparently not.

That "hidden camera" video is so obviously staged too. It's sort of funny how stupid right wing agitators think right wing regular people are. Well, it would be if it weren't so fecking dangerous.

Nothing.

Apart from the fact he's been running his mouth about buying the company and what he will do with it, despite us all knowing the bots are well above that threshold.

I mean @Hectic is at least 8% of them alone.

The point being, he, being the great genius already knew this. It's not exactly a secret. And yet now it's a problem...kinda makes you wonder what it's all about.

What now makes me curious, is how hard people think it is to bot twitter.

I mean, do we still think this is tv, or it's the Matrix or some shit? Like it's only in the hand of a select few geniuses who can "hack" anything?

The "one" can bring an end to it all, either that or pesky Russians with their 70's computers?

Oh wait, no sorry, there's Nord. Oh shit forgot about that too, damn, how ever will we know what's going on! Better ask the master genius who knows everything...hey Elon, have you tried turning Twitter off and on again?

he's definitely very smart

what makes you think otherwise?
He has a strong litany of moronic statements. Things like saying people were dumb for worrying about coronavirus and the whole US having no cases by the end of April.

Everyone knew it had bots and spam. Musk is simply stating all of this because he's attempting to slither out of the deal after realizing being Twitter CEO would be a financial drag, a massive PR headache, and would detract from his focus on Tesla and SpaceX (and the others).

It would be to Musk, who nearly spent $44b to buy Twitter. If he knew that going in, he wouldn't have gone as far as he did.
You’re assuming that he actually intended to buy it all along and it hasn’t been a massive feck around and way of manipulating multiple stocks.

My point.

Neither is his tweet about how to turn off certain aspects of the search.

Doesn't stop people believing he's some kind of mastermind though.

I think his ego, petulance, and spontaneous nature were driving forces behind it. If the motivation was purely financial, it wouldn't have worked out for him given that he could've instead spent more time dealing with Tesla's steady decline in share price since Feb. Some of that may have actually also played into his Twitter calculus since his net worth (and financial leverage) are down significantly since the Twitter talk began.

He's probably responsible for at least 8% of the entirety of them across the Internet and 2 house robots from robot wars.
