  > Covering their tracks by making a huge obvious splash. Air tight theory you got there... If they purge the code that says "underreport Ted Cruz's follower count by 10,000", then Ted Cruz's follower count will go up by 10,000 overnight, but they'll have plausible deniability that it naturally happened due to a bunch of conservatives deciding to join Twitter because Elon bought it. But if they don't purge the code that says "underreport Ted Cruz's follower count by 10,000", then there will be nothing noticeable at first, but then they won't have plausible deniability once that code does eventually get found.

    I also heard Carl Sagan kept a dragon in his garage. Seriously though, it's incredibly disheartening to see so many people fall victim to rampant misinformation. It's like everyone completely forgot the basic scientific method from middle school, and instead flock around unfalsifiable, sensationalist conspiracies. They're much more interesting, I'll admit, but that's what fiction is for. We live in a demon haunted world.
