Elon Musk’s X follower count bloated by millions of new, inactive accounts::undefined
You must log in or register to comment.
Elon: “There are too many fake accounts for me to seriously consider buying this company.”
Also Elon, after creating millions of inactive accounts to follow himself: “Please clap.”
So he’s in the “fake it till you make it” phase. “If we pretend there’s trillions using our service, surely trillions of real users will eventually come! 👍”
I was thinking today how ridiculously accurate silicone valley (the show) has turned out to be. It feels like CEOs and mid level managers all watched that show and completely missed the fact that it was SATIRE.
Was it “Veep” that cancelled because they couldn’t outdo reality? If Silicon Valley were still going, this Twitter trainwreck would surely spell it’s end.
Only 7 generations if we double every time. Gotta pump up those population numbers by getting mars started and by getting rid of birth control.
Probably an engineer that was threatened with being fired if he doesn’t figure out how to get Musk millions of new followers.
So wait, he’s stooped to being a shitty copy of Steve “spez” Huffman?
Can this sub shut the fuck up about this joker for a day or two? Pathetic.
Hey mods! can you at least make it so the L4SBOT isnt posting Musk articles, this community already has plenty
I’ll just block OP
OP is a bot. A pretty good bot, it keeps the sub fresh with new articles. We just need to stop talking about this guy.
It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I just can’t look away!
It’s enjoyable to hear about his continual and repeated fuck ups. All publicity is not good publicity.
When you register, Twitter/X asks you to follow a popular account. He is one of then. The problem is that maybe those accounts are used once to see Twitter content and then forgotten. They could be used to login in a different website. I don’t doubt that he has many bots following him, but inactive bots are useless.
I have to wonder if he complained to the devs that his posts didn’t get enough impressions so they should update or “fix” the algorithm. Turned out it was easier to fake a change and he’s just now learning that he got tricked?
Most devs at Twitter are working just enough to look important for another week until they get accepted at another job.
Twitter developers fall into 1 of 3 categories:
-
H1B Visa holders who are stuck
-
Incompetent devs who can’t find another job
-
True believers (you know, morons)

(I am new to Lemmy)
Welcome!

Personally I’ve seen more bot activity after his takeover than before, which is strange considering his talk about bots.
It feels like he’s covering up some type of crime more than anything
🤣🤣 rich people have their own problems
Not surprising to see. A lot of accounts are not active.
This is reach Kim levels.
Applies probably to all users. I’m getting a shit ton of bot followers aswell and have been for like half a year. I believe they’re getting deleted on regular basis since my follower count isn’t really growing despite the constant flow of new subscribtions. This isn’t something that’s just affecting Musk.
Poor chump.
It would be probably cheaper and much better for the world to set up something like this for Elon, where everything is exactly how he wants it.
He strikes me as the kind of guy who has someone sent to him to be fired daily so he can feel important, and at this point they just hire an actor each day to be the victim
