Great comment.
Wow such a good point. Their propaganda machine just fell apart at the seams. Again, I never thought Elon was legitimately going to buy Twitter. I think this whole offer circus was tied to destroying the company. It was no legitimate desire to purchase it
... It was built up over time with fake accounts owned by bots controlled agents of influence The bots would be used to generate false opinions and trends which would be used by woke Leftists in government and corporate influence positions as data to present to decision makers as real data to sway opinions and force corporate officers ( many of whom were woke themselves and needed little persuading) to move their companies leftwards. )

This is like version 2.0 of “Death by Excel”. back in the 90’s, companies could become fixated on metrics to the point of losing track of where they actually wanted the company to go. Metrics began to replace human judgment in decision making.
A classic example is Apple, under John Scully’s leadership, was driven by metrics without vision. Everything looked great on paper, for awhile, then it didn’t. What followed was a series of CEOs all metrics driven. The company was churning out dozens of variants of its computers without a focus or vision. The result was a company that was months away from financial collapse when Steve Jobs was brought back as CEO as part of Apple’s purchase of the rights to Next.
In the 2.0 version of “Death by Excel”, we have “Death by Twitter”. CEOs, again lacking both courage and vision, are easily swayed by the mob mentality of Twitter and come to believe its opinion is somehow representative of general opinion in the U.S., which it’s not. It doesn’t help when these same companies become infested with a small woke, but very vocal, cadre of employees.
