My favorite part will come when Twitter loses most of its paying sponsors, can't pay its bills, its stock drops like a rock, it goes up for sale, and Elon Musk offers to buy it at 1/3 the price of his previous offer.

Twitter bots helped build the cult of Elon Musk and Tesla. But who’s creating them?


"In early November 2013, the news wasn’t looking great for Tesla. A series of reports had documented instances of Tesla Model S sedans catching on fire, causing the electric carmaker’s share price to tumble.

Then, on the evening of Nov. 7, within a span of 75 minutes, eight automated Twitter accounts came to life and began publishing positive sentiments about Tesla. Over the next seven years, they would post more than 30,000 such tweets."

TBH, Elon isn't the best with women, he does have 10 kids though!!

Yes, the makeup was the lie. Just like in real life.

Tesla isn't the one for sale. So B-b-b-ut Trump is being replaced with B-b-b-ut Tesla

This was simply Elon using Twitter to cash out expiring Tesla stock.

This dude can build rockets to go to fake Mars but can’t figure out bot numbers on Twitter?

Yeah, all social media platforms (like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) have been filled with fake accounts for years. Facebook removed 1.6 billion fake accounts in Q1 2022 alone.

This lawsuit is never going to make it to it's court date. If Twitter was trying to hide the numbers, it's because it's pretty bad. So Elon is going to make them sell it to him for a fraction of the price outside of court, as long as other investors never hear the real numbers. If they drag it into court, Twitter has more to lose.
