    It doesn’t get much more Musk than, "I polled the racists and they said racism is okay, so racism is okay "

          See, I’d agree but this is Musk we’re talking about. I wouldn’t be surprised if this douche sent some poor, naive and overeager but overworked intern on a groundbreaking task to gain his admiration and trust by fudging some numbers with fake accounts. So while you think nobody needs to do that, that’s it’s terribly inefficient and only a psychopath drunk on power would pull such a thing, what you need to keep in mind is that this billionaire needs his ego stroked on every turn by some fresh young impressionable men, as he does.

          I don’t know Musk personally but I believe this because there was once some poor, ground-feeding soul who went through this entire process to please his master and Tweeted about his weeks-long process adding some insignificant feature to the site as if it were groundbreaking work back when the site was still named Twitter and none of the replaced employees knew how any of that shit worked. The dude was nothing but raving and hyping himself up and down the feed kissing ass. I also believe this because one of his former team members blew the whistle on his Substack(?) on the unethical and probably illegal shit they were doing with bot accounts during the elections.

          (I can try to find the blog post if you want to read it but trust me bro on the other guy.)
