Elon Musk’s aim is to make Twitter a Trojan Horse for America’s enemies. With the Saudis backing him he doesn’t need to make money. Though 70% of his followers are fake, he is using a Twitter poll to justify restoring Trump.
Except this isn’t the “will of the people” It’s the will of the bots.
After lightning Twitter on fire, Elon asks his groupie followers if he should add gasoline by bringing back Trump.
He justifies it as the will of the people based on his Twitter poll. Problem is 70% of his 110 million followers are fake.
More like Vox Russia and Saudi Arabia (second biggest investors in Twitter, if anybody cares about old quaint ideas like national security).
Elon Musk is a Trojan Horse for our enemies.
“The number of engineers tending to multiple critical systems had been reduced to two, one or even zero,” at Twitter according to WaPo.
So if everything goes dark, before I finish this tweet, I just want to say I love you…
“There is no longer even a skeleton crew manning the system. It will continue to coast until it runs into something, and then it will stop,” one employee said.
Hundreds of critical employees are leaving en masse in advance of Elon Musk’s deadline to “pledge” to “Twitter 2.0.”
He’s had to bring in outside engineers from Tesla just to keep the platform up and running.

1 - Many of us have posted our takeaways from the recent election. There were many - the impact of Roe, the strong showing by Gen Z, the inaccuracy (and even perversion) of the polling process, the media's continued penchant to skew reporting so as to drive ratings ...
2 - But I wanted to take a moment to point out another takeaway whose impact will be lasting, in a positive way. And that is the recognition - on the left - that politics is local, and DOWN BALLOT RACES matter. They matter a ton. And more of us really understand that now.
3 - On Morning Joe this morning, I saw an interview with Adrian Fontes, the recently elected Arizona Secretary of State. He is now one of my favorites, articulate, unabashed. (During the campaign, he called his opponent, Mark Finchem, a "traitor clown.")
American Horror: It’s going to be a freak show when the GOP take over the House.
Hardened criminals, insane conspiracy theorists, and Russian assets will create a carnival of lies and destruction, persecuting Democrats and honest public servants with fake investigations.
Because spineless Kevin McCarthy has such a narrow majority, and need’s every Republican vote, he will be held in thrall by the sedition caucus.
The lunatics will run the asylum.
