Doubtful. Even if real humans flee the site in some virtual exodus, Twitter will live on with bots communicating between themselves, making the daily news on your local news casts with ‘what’s trending on Twitter ‘ reports.

The sad thing is that of all of the major social platforms, Twitter is the one that tends to ban people last.

All the others: FaceBook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. are even worse in terms of banning conservatives.

I am not 66% bot. It just happens.

The point is that they are telling advertisers that you are not one user, you are three, and basing their advertising fees on you being three different users when you are only one with two accounts you don't use and one account you do use.

As I have posted before… I wonder if Elon’s plan all along was to expose Twitter for the bias product it really has become. I’m waiting for ad buyers to sue if their reach was less than stated. I also think Elon wants to rub SEC’s nose in the incorrect numbers filed over the years by Twitter and SEC’s lack of action.

I read from the latest discussion that they count me as one. The supposed debunking counted me as 3.

That’s what I’m thinking.

>>Why isn’t Dorsey and the entire Board in the Dock and had their Assets Seized for the FRAUD they have been committing??

Because Biden controls the SEC and the DOJ. In EVERY Rat administration Rats are above the law.

Twitter inflated its scope, reach, and relevance (bots). Globalists do this as their numbers are too small to do squat otherwise and they’re too dumb to convince people of their insane ideas and beliefs.

Makes me wonder if this was the goal all the time...don’t really buy it but make a serious offer that would require legal accountability. Expose it for what it was....a tool of the deep state.

"Is it possible Musk went through a charade to buy the company as a way to expose how fraudulent they really are and destroy Twitter?"

this is exactly what Bruce Wayne did to Lau of Lau Industries in the Dark Knight film. Bruce just wanted a closer look at Mr. Lau's books, had Mr. Fox cancel the deal when it was confirmed that Lau was a dirty operator. Elon is Bruce Wayne!!!

But you still only have one set of eyes on ads, not three.

It’s possible, it does make you wonder. It also is curious how the media has reacted to this whole buyout thing. Are there those in the media that knew this?

That’s what the latest explanation with this new CEO said. It said that for advertisers I am still counted as 1 because only one of my accounts is active.

He said that apples and oranges are counted in this discussion because inactive accounts aren’t presented as real to advertisers, but were counted by this guy who said he debunked the ratio.

It is possible he was lying, but we’ll find out because there is a billion dollar fine at play here.

You cant say that he didnt want to buy it. It would be a good boilerplate for his Starlink satellite system. He had $44mil on the table and they agreed. Now starts the discovery that your company is really only half of what you’ve been telling me? We need to investigate this before I go any further.

Coincidentally, half of his voters were fake as well.

The other half are blithering idiots.

Certainly puts the SEC into the fire, also, IMO.

it has gone from wanting a poison pill so Elon couldn’t have Twitter to now the board says they will force Elon to buy Twitter.

there is another component that we aren’t privy to in that Elon has a fierce battle with the SEC.

Part of this could be to land the SEC in the hot seat.

It works the other direction, also...

IF I am interviewing with you to take you on as a bookkeeping client-—My first question is HOW MANY CHECKS A MONTH DO YOU WRITE-—AND HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU HAVE ON PAYROLL???

I need to know I can handle the load along with my current list of clients.

IF you tell me answers that are 1/3 of the truth——I will find out soon enough & I am NOT a person you want to get a lecture from about honesty.

One of my old clients called those discussions “Come to Jesus” talks. He never was dishonest——just sometimes didn’t really understand how much work his stuff was-—ON AN ANNUAL BASIS... BUT he NEVER bitched about my bill...and paid VERY promptly.
