In fairness, there isn’t much difference between real people posting their programmed thoughts and bots doing that same thing.

There is also a real possibility that some bots are designed to be detected, such that they backfire (which would then be the desired effect).

They call that a false flag.

@George-K I think the focus on bots is a pretense. He’s backing out, or trying to anyway, because his bid is too high given what’s happened in markets since the early spring.

Could be. It would certainly make sense. However, he started complaining about the lack of transparency wrt bots shortly after he made his bid, didn't he?

How about we make Elon an offer to purchase TNCR for just $43B? According to my last audit, we have less than 5% bots.

Traffic or accounts? I imagine our bot activity is very low, but not accounts to be very high…

If you zoom out enough, the line between an outraged leftist and a bot running its programming, is blurry. We’ve done our best to limit the outraged leftists on the board, but no system of moderation is perfect.

Twitter sues Elon Musk, setting stage for epic legal battle
The scathing legal complaint, calling the billionaire’s exit ‘a model of hypocrisy,’ kicks off what is likely to become one of the most contentious business trials in recent history

Nah, that's just his natural elusive charm spilling over.

I honestly can't tell whether that's satire or not.

At first it surprised me since Musk has come out as a Republican, anti-woke, anti censorship on Twitter, etc. you’d think Trump would love him
Then I remembered Musk tweeted a few weeks ago that the GOP needs to move beyond Trump.
Trump is a single issue guy - doesn’t really matter what you politics are, it’s all about kissing the ring.

Exactly, If you dont kiss President Trumps shoes.......
He is turning into a caricature of himself, if that is possible.
Or maybe the crazy relative that comes to family parties because you have to invite him, but nobody really wants him there.

Does Musk buy his suits at the same place that Trump gets his ties?
I assume he does buy his suits????

Yep. Reminds me of the old motto of the SS: "Meine Ehre heisst Treue".
