Elon Musk brags about two-million daily sign-ups, which presumably has most to do with the lack of safety rails preventing bot proliferation. Prior to Musk’s hostile supremacist takeover of free speech, the old Twitter system was reportedly removing one million plus bots each day. When he took over, he removed the staff that did that, along with taking away content moderation limiting those tools to fifteen onsite staff while failing to remove third party console ability from Remi Barrette’s conspirator0.
The numbers Musk has given are nonsensical without a bot component causing such a surge. The second slide, measured by impressions generated, mostly by Yonder Inc’s PsyOp incorporating 1500 racist bots spewing slurs that Remi Barrette banned while Susan Portnoy and two other accounts ran around, this one shown being Matt Donavon.
At the same time one “hand” was doing this, the “other” was getting the opposite result just a couple days later, seeing as this pinkie account got auto rejections.
That one is minor, deserving of a 12-hour suspension, whereas these next are more vile and should result in at minimum a week long suspension in a relaxed moderation environment. Again, there was almost no one moderating during this time period.
And that last one, pure unadulterated grift that had nothing to do with his before valid claims, is pure Mike bull.
By misleading people on racist impressions by manufacturing the very bots responsible, Musk and Yonder created a false narrative of fixing safety without actually doing anything. That is a Musk Musk, indeed.
