For those who wondered why high-traffic Twitter accounts with a progressive bent started publicly saying that they were being throttled by Elon Musk around... well, July...

Researchers say Twitter changed its algorithm to promote Elon Musk and Republican posts leading up to the election.
"The date at which [the spike] in engagement occurs coincides with Elon Musk's formal endorsement of Donald Trump on 13th July 2024." eprints.qut.edu.au/253211/

I started replying to Musk's posts with a link to a Vanity Fair article that was critical of him. Always got 3 views. Always.
Small accounts got wrecked too because the algo is like a bus with limited seats.
If you throttle up visibility for some it gets drained for the others.
ALL of this is shamelessly obvious.
It’s kinda sad most didn’t connect the dots when they were happening but called us “crazy”.
Anyway, found and followed.
Again.
It was so blatant
The same exact thing.
I slowly grew to just short of 20K then the views just dried up.
It took a while before I suspected it.
None of this is normal. Elon with a federal position that skirts confirmation. Elon in touch with Putin regularly. Elon with access to our deepest secrets through Space X.
There are programmers actually tweaking these algos...
I call it stealing an election.
While X has more and more issues, that project is doing fairly well in terms of investment.
Checked Ground News for "xai" and found this:

The horses barn.
Don't tell me Elon's immigration papers are good.
Bothers me because I posted articles & graphs in rebuttal to Trumpies
