I think Elon also made a mistake by calling these things bots. Most spam on Twitter is a combination of auto account creation or takeover, and then some human in a third world country using that account to scam people. I don’t think Twitter would call that a bot, but I bet Elon would.

I do think Twitter in its current form is essentially unusable due to the amount of scams. I see thousands on a weekly basis. Every feature, from tweets, replies, lists, etc. is a cesspool of scamming. I block 100s of users per week and yet I still get added to “Free ETH drop” lists daily.
