This incident is entirely between the perpetrator and Elon. Jack Sweeney's bot has nothing to do with it because a bot relaying public info that could've been retrieved using a plethora of alternative means bears no responsibility for potentially causing this incident.


sort by: page size:

Elon only mentioned the bot 'problem' to get out of the deal.

He shut up about the bots as soon as it was evident the excuse wasn't working. Bots are of no concern otherwise.


Don't worry, Elon has assured us that this is merely the work of evil activists and has nothing to do with that whole verification fiasco.

It wouldn't be a lie if @elonjet posted something else more revealing other that it was bot'ed to do.

Wait wasn't Elon going to solve the bot problem?

I’m afraid I don’t believe you.

Here is a link to someone doing what you say should immediately attract ten bots:

As you can see, zero bots have replied.

Unfortunately there are a lot of Elon haters who just make stuff up. I’m not saying you are one of those. But I will say that because of this phenomenon, when you make claims of this sort, if you don’t provide evidence you are likely to be asked for evidence.


It's funny that Lord Elon whined about abuse from bots then immediately fired the teams that could prevent it.

Elon's gotta send a repair bot next time, not his car.

LOL LMAO!

Remember when Musk said there weren't any bots on his platform? He had the bot problem under control?


Elon has found the ultimate checkmate to fight the bot problem. No service, no bots.

I hope Elon personally takes responsibility for this. The person who told the author what was going on is the only person in the story who provided good customer service!

So now they are bots?

2 weeks ago they were legitimate users and Elon was insane. Now they’re bots.


I’m pretty positive Elon’s account is NOT run by a media team :D

Surely Elon solved the bot problem with $8 blue checks.

Don’t worry, Elon has tweeted that he “doesn’t care about this particular psyop”.

I suppose there was already various bits of evidence he was under the thumb of the CCP (see: that infamous Taiwan tweet and the aftermath), but this just reinforces that.


Somehow the bot problem got much worse since Elon took the helm.

I dont know about the personal account, but aren't these jet accounts bots? Isn't that exactly what Elon said he was going to do? It's possible that the personal account was tied via IPs to the bots.

Elon: OMG, there are so many bots (probably)

Also Elon: Due diligence is for plebs


Poor Elon. He looks stupid either way.

If I cared, I'd go find the Elon tweet where he suggested that he already knew twitter was filled with bots, spammers and himself, shameless self promoters


Not elons problem
next
