This man is incorporating the same tactic that Trump has during his presidency: launch a psychopathic publicity stunt nearly every day, to get as much media coverage as possible. Negative attention is attention too, they don’t care. They just want to be talked about as much as possible and they seem to be doing an excellent job at accomplishing that.

Twitter has started blocking no-login view of many parts and now every scraper is loging in to collect this data and Elon is either being automatically followed or suggested for new accounts.
Elon forced everyone to follow him, so of course bots would follow him. It's strange to make an article about something that's already widely-known as if it was a discovery or something...
I think it’s more obsessed with musk. It’s hard to not watch a train wreck as it’s happening and it’s also astounding that people can’t seem to leave Twitter for the better places
Because whether we like it or not, Twitter is still a major force in the overall internet space. Twitter is still one of the top 10 most used websites around the world, so what they do is news.
And dumb shit Elon does with it has repercussions. Just look at Reddit deciding to charge ridiculous amounts for API use as a way to kill 3rd party apps not long after Twitter did it.
Although honestly, I just shared this because I cracked the entire fuck up at most of Elon’s followers being bots and inactive users and wanted other folks to point and laugh with me.
