Current Affairs Elon Musk

[Spadge Vernacular]

That doesnt make sense as there would be someone unknown out of millions of users just posting frequent nonsense posts.

If Musk is writing nonsense then its up to him isnt it, just like its allowed for others. Not sure what the issue is here -- anyone can do the same.

Are you saying Musk has overseen the development of an AI that doesn't work?

Rather than facebook, twitter and huge amounts of the US media being anti-Trump and posting constant lies about him while blocking most pro-Trump truths.

I dont use X or facebook but all ive seen say that X is much more open now rather than being used to promote agendas.

So misinformation about Trump is bad but when Musk uses misinformation to support Trump it's not an issue?

With such concrete evidence, who could deny you

No. Also the post I responded to was in no way definitive.

If a news source is massively weighted against one candidate / topic, its then sold and tries to be more balanced...

...thats typically a positive.

Freedom of speech seems to be what the X platform is focused on. Not a facebook type biased news/reference source which would be taking direction from the Democrat party. As far as im aware Musk can post what he likes and theres nothing to stop you posting the opposite.

Clueless, misinformed and wrong with every word.

You are the perfect Trumper.

Congratulations on fitting in somewhere finally.

You seldom are. Doesn’t stop you posting though sadly.

HA! IN YOUR FACE, GOAT!!

Jesus wept it’s like the worst version of the old adage about playing chess with a pigeon. Even when it loses it still struts around the chess board sh!tting everywhere etc.

That's not what the study is about, nor what the title indicates. It was looking at how Musk's own account (and other right-leaning accounts) relative to left-leaning ones were differentially amplified (using a variety of metrics: view counts, retweet counts, likes) since Musk's endorsement of Trump on July 13th, which was also the day of the attempted assassination of Trump by a registered Republican. However, I just scanned the paper and didn't find it to be too convincing, which is why I said in my post "if it proves to be a robust result." Basically, it looks like they are finding patterns in differential amplification of right-versus-left accounts which they suggest might be algorithmic bias, but I think this claim grasping at straws and there are other explanations, such as the already-right-leaning twitter community got more engaged/empowered due to these two events and thus liked, retweeted, and viewed right-leaning accounts, and especially Musk's.
