Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fuksoutof87: They have literally bragged about using Twitter as propaganda. It's no secret except to morons what has been going on there for a long time. After Trump was elected they even publicly talked about how they were going to control internet narratives, fight memes, fight people pulling up older news stories and comparing them to new , and everything else. They even talked about working with internet caching sites to stop people from using the media against the current narrative. They worked out a system of contacts to make it easier to edit past news to fit the current narrative. The left isn't stupid, they're not incompetent. They're just evil and see all the lies and other shit people complain about as them getting their way in the nicest way possible. They're not wrong, they'd do so much worse lying and everything else is minor. The left is absolutely stupid and incompetent. They just sit on important chokepoints and have for decades. Which is why they are incompetent; because they haven't had a real fight in living memory. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By victorgonzales: Look at this from the perspective of a business leader who beat NASA and well established car companies. You are purchasing a woke propaganda machine. You need to make sure the servers function and the software can be managed and payroll met to keep the place running. You plan on firing at least half and you have no idea how many will quit when they aren't able to program society anymore. My guess is he had his trusted men in all the key functions and made sure they could run it for a little while if everyone quite before the initial 50 percent layoff even happened. The email was to clean up some trash they missed in the first cut. Elon is not an idiot that doesn't realize what this company needs to function. He had the critical stuff locked down before he started fucking with things.  Attached File |

Right now Elon is at least enjoying being the Alpha Twitter Troll. Bring back DJT and he has competition. Meanwhile, DJT has Truth Social, and going back to Twitter would be a tacit admission that Truth Social was a flop. |

Are we talking 50,000 votes placed by bots in this poll, or are we talking 5 million votes out of the 15 million total? The results really did go from 80% to 52%, so I'm rather curious. |

Recapping, we were told Twitter could not last through the weekend with the load. So Elon loads up a massive poll, smokes out tons of bots and reactivates DJT's account.
Now that's a stress test. And we're halfway through the weekend. |
