    I mean. If that's true. That's ****ed up.

    So then if that is the case that 90% of twitter is fake, it explains a lot why the left, not just the corporate executives who are responsible, but the entire left was fighting so vigorously to keep control of it. They're using it to promote BSC viewpoints as being much more widely shared than they are. It's basically a way more sophisticated propaganda machine than I ever thought. I mean. I thought it was a lot. Maybe 30 or 40%. 90? That's highly fraudulent for one thing. So criminal. And that's not even the worst part. Wowsers if true.

    (Bat **** Crazy is said often enough that we might as well make a short version -> BSC)
    To me, a BSC is a biosafety cabinet - which is probably what we should be using to handle some of these BSC viewpoints.

    I don't think that's the case. Like jsx said, it's more within Musks temperament to make a financial play. He had to do some wheeling/dealing to raise the cash. He brought in some outside investors. Those are bridges burned if he never had any intention of buying it. I am not certain the deal will ultimately go through but I think it's more than 50/50 it will. And I think he'll get it for less than he originally offered. Embellishing the 90% would be something I think he'd do.
    Yep; sounds like pretty normal M&A gamesmanship to me: the buyer is conducting due diligence, to be sure - but will use the process to drive down the ultimate price where possible. (It's not all that different from negotiating a lower purchase price for a home following the home inspection.)

    Now the New York Post has this headline; "Audit finds half of Joe Biden’s Twitter followers are fake". From the article "At least half of President Biden’s 22.2 million Twitter followers are bogus, a new audit revealed." Even better, "SparkToro used the same audit on Musk himself and found that nearly 70.2% of Musk’s 93.3 million Twitter followers were fake."

    Most votes ever my a**!

    Twitter increasingly looks more like a pyramid scheme every day, as does most of the "Social Media" platforms. Since Twitter has made SEC filings purporting to have very low numbers of fake accounts, shouldn't a finding like this trigger a fraud investigation by the SEC / FBI?

    How many American's are spending far too much of their time in an echo chamber of propagandists?

    The more that comes out, the more the movie "The Social Dilemma" looks like it understated the problem.

    I heard it in a song one time: you have to be cruel to be kind.
