- LightG 4y agoBut the prominence of the issue is. Wheel out a "whistle-blower" or two and Bob's your Uncle. Forgive me, there are enough cultish Elon worshippers around that I can easily give credence to this theory. In fact, on the balance of probability (given the fanatics and Musks powers), I would say it is actually the most reasonable explanation.
- wyclif 4y agoIt's really not about Elon Musk cultism. It's about the fact that he was right to question how many Twitter accounts were bots/spam. This is Musk's vindication.

- samatman 4y agoI think this is almost exactly backward: the flagrant, constant spammers using his name and picture, which is absolutely trivial for Twitter to prevent, have been dogging his mentions in great numbers for years. It eventually pissed him off enough that he figured that buying the company was the only way to solve the problem. He might be right about that.
