We took a close look at Elon Musk’s more than 150 million followers on X aka Twitter. What we found is…concerning.
This man is incorporating the same tactic that Trump has during his presidency: launch a psychopathic publicity stunt nearly every day, to get as much media coverage as possible. Negative attention is attention too, they don’t care. They just want to be talked about as much as possible and they seem to be doing an excellent job at accomplishing that.
I call it the crazy girlfriend technique.
Elon forced everyone to follow him, so of course bots would follow him. It’s strange to make an article about something that’s already widely-known as if it was a discovery or something…
He’s such a child. A creepy, creepy child.
He really likes to acquire things and then turn them into (e)Xes.
that’s pretty much the case for all celeb accounts tbqh
Why is this community obsessed with Twitter?
Because whether we like it or not, Twitter is still a major force in the overall internet space. Twitter is still one of the top 10 most used websites around the world, so what they do is news.
And dumb shit Elon does with it has repercussions. Just look at Reddit deciding to charge ridiculous amounts for API use as a way to kill 3rd party apps not long after Twitter did it.
Although honestly, I just shared this because I cracked the entire fuck up at most of Elon’s followers being bots and inactive users and wanted other folks to point and laugh with me.
They did it to stop chat gpt from scraping them. They absolutely used it to kill 3rs party apps to drive more users to their own app. But let’s be serious here. They were protecting their repository of community collected and curated information. Like. I absolutely think Spez was all “win win” when they came up with this.
Oh yes, I’m always down to laugh at Elon. Kinda like watching streamers waste thousands of dollars on gacha games, I enjoy watching Elon burn through $44b worth of Twitter.
