Twitter turning into Truth Social?

As far as I'm concerned it's already there. 70% of respondents wanted Alex Jones unbanned.

If you believe Elron didn’t just make up whatever results he wanted. I watched it and the ratio didn’t change at all in the last 800,000 votes, which seems a little weird.

It's not like that poll goes to everyone, it goes to musk's followers first and foremost.

Musk's posts go to everyone I'm pretty sure. Many people unfollowed him and he didn't like that, so now you get his excretes whether you want to or not.

I see a merger in the future. They can complete the circle of bullshit and nonsense like the dragon 69ing its tail

Yeah it makes total sense. It's a fantastic way to make sure you only get the most gullible, hardcore idiots that are easy to make money off.

It's like those longer running scams. They have built in mechanisms to find the best marks, by disqualifying anyone who might not be easy to convince early.

Same here. If you cultivate a crowd of conspiracy theorists, that have a proven track record of being easily swayed not by evidence but by lack of evidence, then you got the full-day morons eating from your hand.
