I expect that those 23% are merely the fake/spam accounts that are so badly managed that they can be easily screened by a simple algorithm. There's probably twice that many fake accounts there that merely aren't so blatant about it.

If you spend much time on Twitter, you start to see a pattern among followers of certain accounts, where a big chunk of people tweet hit-and-run contributions that give no sign of even understanding what the thread is about, much less engaging with any follow-ups. In my experience, the phoniest Twitter armies belong to Musk, Putin, Matti Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Tulsi Gabbard, and Zack Snyder.

1. Musk offers bid to buy TWITTER!

2. Musk said, as new owner, he was going to allow Trump to post his shit again!

2. The stockholders dumped stock on hearing this- Stock plummeted!

3. Deal is on hold- Looks as if Musk now wants out!

DUH!

There's a skeeter on me tweeter- KNOCK IT OFF!

Most Hilarious scene of events!

Trump ruins anything he touches!

Even mentioning Trump's name ruins everything!

That's likely the average number across all of twitter.

Bullshit!

TWITTER stock started crashing the MOMENT ELON MUSK MENTIONED TRUMP'S NAME!

Whatever! Musk's Free Speech TWEET to restore Trump's Tweeter account has personally lost him over a Billion dollars of his own Twitter Stock!

FREE SPEECH CAN BE A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD! But, you have to be careful what you say- and how you say it- AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU SAY IT!!

SORRY, I DIDN'T MAKE THE RULES- MOTHER NATURE DID!!

That's probably the way it should be! LET EM' TALK! LET'S GIVE EM' SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT!

Liar I watched it free fall in real time the day he announced the hold, source or GTFO. Elon hasn't lost a cent because the deal wasn't finalized, what he did do though is expose Dorsi and the twitter board as having lied to investors about the number of users so it's a prison they'll be going.

Look wise up! Donald Trump is a very controversial subject matter.

He is now a 500 lb. gorilla that nobody wants on their back, as he fucks up everything he touches.

He was never going to be a popular president because he didn't win the popular vote. And you knew he was a snake before you ever took him in!

Sure, there is the Electoral College to circumvent the popular vote- BUT IT CAN'T GET YOU PAST POPULAR OPINION NOW CAN IT?

The American People Spoke dude! LISTEN! Are you fucking deaf?

Fucking Hilarious!

I assume this is one. You're a democrat, right? Or did you mean capital-D Democrat? If so, see my posts attacking Sinema and Manchin.

bwahahaha. so if they break from your hive - you will bitch about it

yeah - you are the biggest partisan douchebag on these forums

 

[Mina]

bwahahaha. so if they break from your hive

I have no hive. I'm an independent and always have been. I support policies, not parties. My issues with Manchin and Sinema are policy differences, such as their refusal to step up to laws that will protect voting rights. In that sense, I'm a democrat, in the small-d meaning of that word. I believe in developing a more democratic society, and Manchin and Sinema stand in the way of that.

Independent review suggests as much as 75% of twitter accounts are bots.

You're shifting goal posts, the stock crash came after the hold announcement not after Elon said he woops allow Trump back on.

How our Biden's opinion polls doing about now dipshit?

You can't trust polls anymore than you can trust a Fart! POLLS SOMETIMES COME OUT A LITTLE WET TOO!

 

[Hawkeye10]

And a good 50% of Bidens according to a study.....no way Musk is going to pay what he was planning to pay. It increasingly looks like Twitter is a outright scam.

"As bad as you think things are, they are worse".

When the richest men in the world come into power like Elon Musk trying to hog Twitter for himself by owning it- they are no longer Democrats or Republicans- They become Oligarch!

And the oligarch are truly only into their own best selfish interests and the power of their own money- and can't be trusted by either party!

Let the twitter wars begin! Musk seems to be thoroughly entertained with them and just wants the power to be able to control them and flare them up for the chaotic effect!

It would give Musk great advantage to be able to have influence with an autocrat like a DONALD TRUMP- just another Oligarch in my opinion!

This is how we are turning our country into RUSSIA and off to hell in a hand basket!

If you can control the information- you can control the world! Not my quote- but someone smart said that!

I hope the deal fails!
