Alright alright, I get the bandwagon hate for Elon. But think of it this way. ID verification would reduce bots and malicious accounts that are used for “grass roots” advertising or to swing political elections

Sure but that's his problem not mine. I don't care if there are bots on Twitter. I do care about my privacy though. No way I would trust his company with that information.

No, it would only reduce the bots on one side of the political spectrum.

Elon's own bots won't get banned.

…except the ones used for grass roots advertising or to swing political elections in a way Elon likes
