Elon Musk renewed his bid to buy Twitter. The social media giant accepted his filing. It’s pretty much a done deal now.
As a result, the great Twitter bot purge has begun. Some conservative accounts noted they thought it was Twitter doing its thing of disconnecting people who actually want to follow each other. This does happen from time to time though at a very small scale.
Twitter seems to be doing a purge again

But that’s not what’s happening here.
Twitter has now removed 11,000 of my followers in the last hour.

Twitter (or possibly someone else) is deleting bots.
Twitter deleting the evidence of their bot farms in real time is a bold strategy…

I’m sure gonna miss the 9,000+ bot accounts paid to instantly react to every tweet with some garbage comment about the INSHUREKSHUN

If you lose a bunch of bots, you shouldn't be worried about it. It very well may help your engagement with REAL followers. It's a healthy thing.

Lost ~12K followers in last few hours. I assume Twitter is purging some of their legion of bots before final sale. Also mildly curious if the bot armies that obviously swarmed Elon yesterday had anything to do with him deciding to go through with purchase to stop them/their aims?

As I noted, it’s probably Twitter but there’s a slight chance it’s someone else. Let’s start with the Twitter possibilities. The most likely scenario is that they’ve had ways to detect bot activity and can instantly delete bots at will. The reason they haven’t is because the vast majority of these bots are used by China, Iran, the World Economic Forum (or, to be more accurate, the Council for Inclusive Capitalism as the “action” arm of the Liberal World Order), or domestic radical leftist groups… pretty much anyone who hates conservatives, loves Democrats, or both.
A less likely scenario is that Twitter itself has a secret “IT” team that actually controls millions of bots. They use these to manipulate trends in favor of whatever top brass among the company as well as the Liberal World Order want them to promote. We saw these in action yesterday when Musk Tweeted his very reasonable peace plan. Initially it was received positively. Then, it suddenly started taking a downturn to favor Ukraine by a huge margin. It was impossible for it to have reflected real sentiment because of the inexplicable shift. It had to be bots.
But what if it’s not Twitter? What if an outside organization or government is fearful of getting busted once Musk takes the company private? The NSA comes to mind, as does the Chinese Communist Party. It wouldn’t take a huge team as long as they had the right technology to shift IPs and emulate various devices. If they were sophisticated enough to have AI-driven chat bots that could replicate the actions of an actual user, then there is literally no limit. A handful of people could operate millions of accounts.
Someone inside or outside of Twitter is purging the evidence of their bot farms that manipulate the platform and manufacture false public sentiment. Even before Elon Musk has purchased the company, a positive change has already happened.

If fake bots are OK, why are they being deleted?
The deep state is shitting their pants.
You would get initial positive results in a poll that favors your side, until the other people, who might not be following you, are informed, and then they come in large numbers and flip the direction of the poll.
That does not straight up show it is about bots.
If it were bots, they would react instantaneously and you would see the exact opposite effect happen. If they bots are all linked and set up to react intelligently, then it would be a smooth flow indistinguishable at any point in time.
But hey, conclusions have to come first, then you make up the evidence to support the conclusion.
I just went through this on another blog over the Ukraine Invasion.
Fact:
Russia is being pushed out of areas it has controlled for over 6 months and hardened against attack.
Conclusion the blog wants to promote: Russia is winning.
Evidence needed to make that story seem plausible: Russia has superior weapons and air superiority!
Story to tell readers: Russia is redeploying their troops to better attack Ukrainians they are luring out into the open where their weapons and air superiority will have greater effect. Thus, they are not retreating under duress, but as a strategy to defeat the Ukrainians and we think this is a brilliant maneuver.
Reality: Russia lost too many troops, lost too much hardware, and they are being overwhelmed by superior troops with superior leadership and are in fact losing what they gained in the early months of the war. Can they come back after pulling their third tier loser drunks into the military, handing out old rusty equipment, giving them less than a week of refresher training and throwing them into the battle? Maybe, numbers have a quality all their own.
So the followers that are disappearing by the 10’s of thousands have all decided to, well, just disappear.
Sure, you bet.
