He's also a "bot" I made up for purely illustrative purposes.
Regards,
Okay, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation. True story here. Yesterday I got a letter in the mail saying my vehicle warranty was getting ready to be voided. As long as I keep my scheduled maintenance, this should not be. I was mad. I furiously looked through my records and I am in compliance. This looks to be from my dealer that I bought it from and who services my vehicle. It’s got their name all over it. CLOSER looking, it’s really from one of those telescammers wanting to sell me an extended warranty. Pretty deceptive. I figured it out while I was on hold from calling them back. Then I hung up. Scammers never sleep.
my guess is that Musk knew all along how prevalent the bots are on Twitter. Still, he is shrewd. And I figure what he knew plus all the legalities of misrepresentations, etc., etc. will serve him well.
I think Mr busek was mimicking a bot. That’s the kind of language you often see from a bot in an effort to persuade another person to buy/sell/believe/disbelieve a particular thing.
I do think he was honest in his appraisal of your comment...”That’s a very perceptive remark!”
Thanks, I get it now. But it shoots his “You’re very perceptive” theory all to smithereens.
Thanks for that image.
He's messing with you.

There's no underwear.
How does he get in/out of the toilet? Maybe a couple guys with boat paddles help shoe horn style?
I think he may be at the toilet in that pic.
Then I had the creepy "Hi, how are you?" DMs as soon as I followed back some of them. Those got immediately unfollowed and blocked.
I eventually learned that most handles with a bunch of numbers in them are not real people.

That would be my bet also.
They help build consensus by creating “trending news”.
Cia brainwashing stuff
And Trump’s comment regarding Musk may have been to actually help Musk. A little theater to put ‘distance’ between Musk & Trump so the Twitterites won’t emotionally dig in their heels during these negotiations.
Bots greatly help shape the current narrative.
Controled by bad people
Trump has said that even if Musk’s acquisition of Twitter goes through and he’s reinstated (which he should be), he’s not coming back. He should — for one tweet. Then he gets the lefties looking for more, and nothing happens. Play with their heads.
I never claimed it was all designed to get Trump back on Twitter. If it really was a “ploy” it was to help Musk on the immediate problem - the negotiations. Trump on Twitter is mostly irrelevant. Musk taking over Twitter (or not!) and thus striking a blow against the Tech Left’s monolithic control of social media is relevant.
The Musk-Twitter negotiations even ending with Musk failing to take over Twitter could be a win. It could so damage Twitter financially that it would collapse.
Twitter claims to remove more than 1 million spam accounts per day

This article thrills me. Explains completely what I was only kind of sure about.
That is exactly the issue.
On a truly business standpoint, all these social media platforms depend on advertisers to make money. Businesses either sign-up to advertise for clicks or views. Ideally, the advertiser sets the demographic, but after that one really has no idea what is happening to properly gauge ROI.
Twitter, Meta, etc. have no motivation to remove the ‘bots.’ They make their money off the price per click or view. The average user or consumer does not pay to be on these platforms. These platforms make money through advertisers using the platform.
It amazes me how many small businesses get sucked into spending lots of money and never know exactly where their money is getting spent. How many clicks are from ‘bots?’ How many comments are from meaningless bots that cost them money?
How many of those ‘bots’ are actually Twitter itself defrauding the advertiser?
So, from a business to business sale Musk has legit concerns. A bot hoping on an advertisers thread and engaging with comments can cost a business thousands of dollars. All of which end up in Twitter’s pocket.
Quite a nice racket eh?
IIRC, it was something like bots that sabotaged Rush at one time. (I’m not sure if the term, “bot” had been invented then.) Thousands of “people” were trying to take him down because of something he said and he was pretty upset. Turns out it was about 10 actual people and their automated algorithms.
That’s the first time I ever heard this could be done. Almost unbelieveable at the time.
