Elon was born a poor African boy...
So is he a nationalized citizen? If so, that makes him an African-American who has become very successful.Put that in your statistics pipe and smoke it. The average and median wage for African-American males just went through the roof.
Elon putting on the brakes?BREAKING: Elon Musk puts Twitter deal on hold pending audit of ‘spam/fake accounts’https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2022/05/13/breaking-elon-musk-puts-twitter-deal-on-hold-pending-audit-of-spam-fake-accounts/
Update on that Twitchy thread as of 7:50 AM, Musk says he is still committed to the purchase. Even so, it does make me wonder if he is having second thoughts.
Confusing the enemy is part of a good plan.
Musk’s net worth, which makes him the world’s richest man, has fallen by around $50 billion in recent weeks, according to Forbes’ real-time wealth index. And Tesla stock has shed nearly 30 percent of its value in just the past month.Musk disclosed more than $7 billion of financing last week from sources including investment firms, the Oracle founder Larry Ellison, the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the Qatar sovereign wealth fund, and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.Now, Musk has been seeking out additional investments beyond what he had initially planned, because of the economic downturn and the weakening of Tesla’s stock price
Thought: The bots might be less than 5% of total user accounts, but what % of viewed tweets do they account for? If the bots are still drowning out real voices then it doesn't matter what the account ratio is, the outcome is still the same. The ratios of real people posts seen versus bot posts seen is what needs discernment.
Elon Musk@elonmusk·May 14Very important to fix your Twitter feed:1. Tap home button.2. Tap stars on upper right of screen.3. Select “Latest tweets”.You are being manipulated by the algorithm in ways you don’t realize.Easy to switch back & forth to see the difference.

Elon Musk@elonmusk·May 15I’m not suggesting malice in the algorithm, but rather that it’s trying to guess what you might want to read and, in doing so, inadvertently manipulate/amplify your viewpoints without you realizing this is happeningShow this thread
Later Friday, Musk tweeted that he was conducting a random sampling of 100 accounts to check how many were not legitimate, noting he used that number because “that is what Twitter uses to calculateOn Saturday, he tweeted: “Twitter legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100! This actually happened.”The Tesla Inc. TSLA, -5.88% chief executive again questioned Twitter’s numbers in a tweet Saturday, saying “I have yet to see *any* analysis that has fake/spam/duplicates at later added “There is some chance it might be over 90% of daily active users, which is the metric that matters to advertisers.”
