Almost half of President Joe Biden's current 22.2 million followers on Twitter are fake accounts, according to an audit tool provided by software company SparkToro.
SparkToro's tool found that 49.3 percent of accounts following the official @POTUS Twitter account are "fake followers" based on analysis of a number of factors, including location issues, default profile images and new users.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is currently trying to buy Twitter, has expressed concerns about the number of fake accounts and a potential crack down could see users such as Biden lose a huge number of followers.

Now they need to count the sock puppets (persons with multiple accounts to bulk the numbers), hired shills and paid DNC operatives.

No surprise here. This is true of all support for radical lefties. It’s half made up. They try to create a perception that “everyone” is behind them in order to drive the opposition into apathy.

I wonder if Musk was thinking this far ahead with the bots. He paid a premium for Twitter and this is fraud against anyone who advertised believing the numbers…either way, Twitter is exposed and in deep do do

That’s OK. Joe is fake, too. NPCs following an NPC.

Use this technique to take down the rest of fake social media.
Launch a buy offer, in discovery expose the bots.

His true follower numbers likely match with the actual votes he got.

His more popular tweets get 100k likes. That’s 0.002 engagement. And this is with bots.
