We cannot discount the 'we are following them purely for the entertainment value' group.
On top of that, Hollywood celebs, progressives and democratic politicians have been losing 10's of thousands (if not millions) of followers at the same time sparking many to wonder wtf is going on over there. Some speculate that the numbers for left leaning accounts have been artificially inflated and the company is scrambling to get it cleaned up before Musk's people take over.I find it curious how many well known conservative Twitter accounts suddenly almost overnight have had millions of new followers added. What this seems to suggest is that Twitter just now decided to stop with their "shadow banning" of people whom the company disagreed with, alowing the metrics to open up and stop pushing the content aside which the liberal company disagrees with. And this is why liberals in the media are losing their minds. The probability that Twitter will no longer be able to shadow ban their opposition.
Twitter is now musk and he can do whatever he sees fit with the platform, no longer be able to shadow ban, lol. It is the new gop outrage phrase, we're being shadow banned. Millions more stable geniuses on twitter overnight, oh boy.I find it curious how many well known conservative Twitter accounts suddenly almost overnight have had millions of new followers added.

I think it's been tens of millions, by tomorrow there won't be any democrats left in america. Some speculate? Who would that be? Musk immediately fired the executive branch as soon as he bought twitter so I don't think it was them.On top of that, Hollywood celebs, progressives and democratic politicians have been losing 10's of thousands (if not millions) of followers at the same time sparking many to wonder wtf is going on over there.

so you think that millions of people, over night, just collectively decided to join twitter and follow conservative accounts because they heard Elon Musk was buying twitter?I think 90% of the takes, left and right, are wayyyyyy overblown.
The right was never politically targeted on that platform, and the realities of the mechanisms that make Twitter work are going to prevent any transition to a dystopia in which Neonazis troll libs like they're livestock (which of course is specifically the right wing fantasy -- they're not subtle about it).

The fact that left wing accounts lost followers, and conservatives gained so much, over night, suggests there was manipulation of the algorithms. We also know this isn't beyond twitter, because now we found out they misrepresented their daily active users. We're finding out about a lot of dirty stuff about them now.
You said that the right was never politically targeted. So how else do you explain all these accounts gaining 90,000 followers over night, other than all these people just collectively decided to join twitter on the same day?Huh, you got that from what I said? Do you usually see and hear things that aren't there? (That's a rhetorical question -- you don't need to answer that).
not my fault you don't pay attention.I have no idea what's going on at Twitter and I can definitely say that neither do you.

They're just singing to the choir. Pandering to the conservative base. I could care less about Twitter. Never joined and never will.I find it curious how many well known conservative Twitter accounts suddenly almost overnight have had millions of new followers added.

My God... Are you capable of having a reasonable, honest, common sense discussion or is everything a political and ideological endeavor?I think it's been tens of millions, by tomorrow there won't be any democrats left in america. Some speculate? Who would that be?
What? How can he fire anyone when the takeover hasn't been completed?Musk immediately fired the executive branch as soon as he bought twitter so I don't think it was them.
Like one guy flat out asked, when do we get to start shooting the democrats?I think 90% of the takes, left and right, are wayyyyyy overblown.

Poor dears. They’ve had trolling withdrawal for the last year and a half. This issue makes them feel like they have some of those old glory days back.Like one guy flat out asked, when do we get to start shooting the democrats?
Fox told you this.On top of that, Hollywood celebs, progressives and democratic politicians have been losing 10's of thousands (if not millions) of followers at the same time sparking many to wonder wtf is going on over there.

Musk may have paid 44 billion for a media platform motivated to become the next 8Chan. How this thing going to make money? From My Pillow ads and consumer data from Marjorie Taylor Greene fans?
I am here for it.
I have absolutely no irons in this fire. I don't tweet and I don't follow any tweeters.Is Twitter really worth anything if everyone left of center abandons the platform and it becomes populated by Marjorie Taylor Greene fans? I mean... isn't that just Truth Social? The reason right-wing platforms fail is because liberals and progressives don't use it, thus there's no one to troll.
44 billion dollars... LOL.
This could be delicious on many levels.
