Hey musk, can you let the bots back in?

My thought exactly, but I was gonna frame it as, oh wow, evidence that Musk actually did do something about the bots.

More likely is they've been tweaked to focus on and boost the low count people (like a certain Canadian rodent) to amplify the top down signal (i.e. you have the bots fluff the little guys who are prone to being manipulated).

I will say if I had to pick a winner from a Zuckerberg Musk brawl, It would definitely be the Zuck. He sucks, but Musk is pure evil.
Nah, Mark can actually fight a little and has shown to be not totally helpless in the gym… Elon on the other hand, you just know the only fight game he will ever develop is slap game… plus age gap. Nah. Game Over Elmo.

A little off top for this thread, but I don't have a Twitter account (deleted once Musk took over). Still, friends would send me links to to tweets etc and I could view them
As of today, it seems if I click on any links to tweets, I am REQUIRED to create an account or log in to view the tweet.

In a move that seems no less ridiculous than a Musk - Zuckerberg fight, Musk's mother called it off. I couldn't find a reputable source for this news, I think I first saw it through Edge's news feed and when I googled it later, the 'best' I could find was TDM.

I am 99.9% that is a temporary error and a consequence of the mass layoffs, quality control teams were probably fired in the first round.
