And just like that Elon waved his magic wand... and reactivated Tronald Dump's account. Jeez...

#Trump #RIPTwitter #ElonWorld

#Trump gained #20m new #followers (real and…less real, I’m sure) in the first 2 hours since #Musk reinstated him this morning

Attached: 2 images I took these snapshots this morning 2 hours apart and #Trump gained #20m new #followers (real and…less real) in that timespan 😧. #Musk’s #Twitter vote is working as a charm in boosting support for Trump for his upcoming presidential election campaign. I know Trump has lost a lot of #Republican and #media (#Murdoch) backing…I hope Musk’s PR campaign doesn’t make up for all that. I know I’m stating the obvious but we’ll soon get to witness another level of social media attack on #democracy.

Yes, I read that too but would Twitter, knowingly, keep 30m bots all this time? And would they just “resurface” now with Trump being live? That’s the bit I can’t quite get my head around.

I must admit my knowledge of Twitter technical side is very limited and I’m happy to be corrected on my assessment 😊 if his growth in followers is not organic.
