    One of the larger Swedish newspapers did an investigation into the the use of mica in the electric car industry and could show that Tesla had bought mica from mines that use child labor, well X/Twitter has now labeled links to that investigation as unreliable and has started to put up warnings on the accounts of journalists and other co-workers from that news paper.

    Businesses schools will be using this as a case study of what NOT to do for decades.

    And yet the cult of Musk will insist he can do no wrong or isn't a crazy bigot.

    Love how his fans and those on the
    Right are asking/pleading with Musk to buy Fox News or some other news company because he’s the only one to trust.

    Apparently Musk’s new plan to try and turn things around is…pivoting to video. Not joking:

    Video hosting is famously a fast track to profitability.

    Yeah, they don't sound at all dodgy.

    What's that? There's a second XX tier? And the top one is XXX?

    Well it is already full of amateur porn for OF ads, so won’t be too much of a shift

    Videos have been spotty on Xitter ever since Musk took over, but now it seems like they never load properly. Video-first and saving on server costs.

    Its so absurd - Twitter is the leader in its niche, despite being hammered by terrible decisions, and now he’s trying to pivot it to a niche where YouTube already reigns?

    Can't wait until X becomes the entire internet, just like America Online used to be. That's what you call progress.

    Anybody else watching the new Percy Jackson series? During his down time, Ares gets a kick out of Twitter. Sounds about right.

    This is insane.



    A cybersecurity firm that tracks bots and fake traffic said that "a whopping 75.85 percent of traffic from X to its advertising clients' websites during the weekend of the Super Bowl was fake."

    "I've never seen anything even remotely close to 50 percent, not to mention 76 percent," CHEQ founder and CEO Guy Tytunovich told Mashable regarding X's fake traffic data. "I'm amazed…I've never, ever, ever, ever seen anything even remotely close."

    In comparison, here's their breakdown of fake user visits from other social media platforms over Super Bowl weekend:
    • X / Twitter: 75.9%
    • TikTok: 2.6%
    • Facebook: 2%
    • Instagram: 0.7%
    The firm also says fake user traffic from Twitter during last year's Super Bowl weekend was only 2.81%. Looks like Elon's really turned things around.

    X claimed it had over 1.1 billion video views during the Super Bowl this year, a 75% increase from last year. Hey, what a coincidence!

    I generally avoid Twitter these days, but any time I stop in, every notification I've gotten is always just bots following me
