Vanguard group, an asset management company, becomes largest shareholder of Twitter, according to latest SEC data.

Musk's bid gets rejected by Saudi Arabia's Kingdom Holding Company (KHC). They own a 5.2 per cent stake.

Musk responds to Saudi Arabia's KHC by asking how much Saudi Arabia owns directly and indirectly, plus enquires about their views on freedom.

The Saudis are heavily invested in exporting Wahhabism and by extension “fundamental” Islam whose twits are not banned under the current regime. Under Musk, they might be banned, since they advocate death and violence. The Saudis cannot risk losing that “voice”.

Is it true that a substantial percentage of Twitter traffic (+-30%) is from bots?

[airborne]

Wow! If true it would shake the foundations of the world. The US government propaganda machine - Twitter! Shades of Nazi Germany!

Let me ask you, is it true that Twitter has a substantial percentage of their traffic being created by bots?

I would add that the entity does not have to be the US Govt., but any Govt. with lots of money. Like China

Vanguard...

Gee, they’re the largest Disney institutional shareholder, aren’t they...

It's most likely the NSA and all Twitter activity is stored in the Utah facility below. The NSA isn't going to let China run this operation.

Here's how punctuation, etc. improves my comment.

Please Gab is an haven for ant semites and should be shut down!

[mmichaels1970]

FR, GAB, and MeWe are the only functioning real free speech social media sites of any consequence right now.

FR? As in FreeRepublic? This site is NOT free speech. It’s a platform for conservative speech. And that’s ok. That’s totally ok.

It isn’t free speech though. See how long a leftist can last before they’re banned.

Unless FR means some other platform.

Buying out Truth Social and making it bigger than Twit would please me.

Vanguard and Blackrock pump up liberal big tech corporations. Check out how much they own of Facebook, Amazon, Disney, etc.

Where does Vanguard and Blackrock get most their money? They get a lot of their cheap money to prop up those companies from the fed. In other words, they have to play to their masters.

Preaching to the choir, my FRiend.

Musk seems keen to push billions with a purpose; the coming days may prove entertaining.

Just turn Truth Social on for android already. Sheesh.

They should have done that before Apple IMO.

I fear it may have missed the opportunity now that all this is going on with twitter...especially if Musk is successful.

[bert]

So, Vanguard now has a strong ally to make Twitter a more profitable company.

Musk, Vangard, KHC can now determine a more profitable Twitter future

Just turn Truth Social on for android already. Sheesh.

They haven't been able to make it work on Apple and you still want to see it on Android? As of this morning, I'm still 567,378.
