High-profile Republican members of Congress gained tens of thousands of Twitter followers in the first few weeks of Elon Musk’s reign over the social media network, while their Democratic counterparts experienced a decline, according to an analysis by The Washington Post.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) all lost about 100,000 Twitter followers in the first three weeks of Musk’s ownership of Twitter, while Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Jim Jordan (Ohio) gained more than 300,000 each.

Sanity gradually returning to Twitter,

Sanity is returning because the algorithms are being turned off.

And the Chinese bots are being shut down, perhaps.

Chances are they were there all along but were being restricted.

I’ve heard a couple of guests on Greg Gutfelds show state that since Elon took over their followers have jumped by tens of thousands......that’s not coincidence.

No more shadow bans and bots. Thanks for the confirmation, WiPo!

Amazing how that happened innit? Its almost as if somebody had their finger on the scales before wiping out followers for Republicans and boosting Democrats.

Yep. Many dim followers were bots or individuals with multiple accounts

Democrats think they are the majority but they are not.

[gitmo]

The bots are no longer skewing the data.

[metmom]

And we’re supposed to believe that the democrats won the elections????

No wonder the Dems want to regulate Twitter.

[lepton]

The immediate change would appear to be algorithms. There should be another surge from when they let people back on.
