1 year agoPerhaps, Musk can create some bots that auto respond in a shocker manner to the trolls so they keep paying for the blue checks. Sort of like what those dating sites did with the fake members.
If I remember correctly the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence quietly released a bipartisan report some years back conforming the existence of Russian trolls in the 2016 election. I haven’t seen any evidence or reports released that they have ceased their attempts at manipulating social media since then.
I do agree though, a lot of the posts are just real people who know that hate gets more engagement and crazy people.
