Unfortunately, the vast majority of readers will not hear about it if it is and thus the negative sentiment about Musk continues to accumulate as the myths and partial storied live on...
- _djo_ 4y agoThis was not an inauthentic account pretending to be a real person, which is the type of bot you want purged, it was a properly registered account using the Twitter API in a way that said it was a bot.[0] So it makes no sense for it to have been caught up in an anti-bot purge.

It'll be interesting to see if Elon brings it back though, at the end of the day he's already getting booed in public, at this point he bought the company he might as well get something out of it. No one in the demographic he's appealing to will hold it against him.
