That sounds right, where local descent is getting push to the back for foreign support for the wannabe dictator.

That is interesting and I hope at some point we can confirm these allegations. Even though it is fairly obvious Elon wanted right wingers boosted in order to prove it to the deniers we would need more proof.

The real Twitter files

link?

This is shocking and obvious at the same time, somehow.

Do it Elon

Who was this letter sent to?

thierryemanuel.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wasn’t it obvious in the last 3 years?

EU needs to ban it yesterday.

I avoided posting this earlier because it's anonymous and the evidence isn't that great here. I have my doubts. The inclusion of H-1B self identification feels like it's a psyop by groypers to turn him against them. But it wouldn't. surprise me if it's real.

Their "Breadcrumbs" is a single file that wasn't even committed to this repo until November;

Also all commits in a github project like this are reviewed via pull requests. Its not "covert" its deliberate

This is just a planted viral ad campaign for a crypto scam https://www.elizaos.ai/

Come on

I just want to be clear that I'm not saying that Twitter wasn't deliberately boosting right wing vs left wing shit. Did we really need a fucking whistleblower for that?

weetigo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Living through that was horrible. being silenced and having the algorithm make you look crazy. I told people what was happening by my experience and no one believed it because that team was able to punt us all off the platform or silences without being overt and getting caught.

The recent changes to the algorithm seem to have somehow boosted liberal posts, because I see far more of them, from accounts I'd never previously seen or heard of, than ever before.

Newspapers used to make money by boosting opposition to whoever was in power

has anyone found those breadcrumbs?

dolomitemick.bsky.social•31 days ago

This is pretty explosive if it’s true

loblaws-balrog.bsky.social•31 days ago

idk seems like some matt taibbi would be interested in, political influencing of Twitter is like his thing right?

what’s that? to shreds you say?

tesskue.bsky.social•31 days ago

If this is real it's nuts, but how do we know it's true?

andrewrockwell.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'm starting to think that Elon 's plan is to personally start a world war.

nbarnes006.bsky.social•32 days ago

Anyone still checking Twitter during the last election was inundated with right content. I mean it was shoved down everyone’s throat and was so obvious. I’m not surprised by this in the least.

This is legitimately a highly consequential and possibly historic story.

Please spread this far and wide, people.

johnnythehobo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Don’t wanna be that person but do we have any verification that this is legit information?

katishel.bsky.social•32 days ago

Always be that person. We are the most susceptible to propaganda we agree with on some level and misinformation that closely aligns with our world view and suspicions (even if they end up being true). Bad actors will and have used that to manipulate us.

katishel.bsky.social•32 days ago

Just to clarify I don’t think Lance is a bad actor but he’s just as fallible and susceptible to this as the rest of us so we all need to do our due diligence.

I think it's well past time X got banned outside of the US.

Waiiiiiit a second... Eliza is the AI news anchor in Deus Ex Human Revolution... god what a fucking nerd and an evil one at that.

More evidence that Musk must have a screw loose if he read and played all this cyberpunk media, and his takeaway was to try and make a megacorp and do some conspiracies himself.
