Well, this isn’t true anymore. There was a birdwatch note on one of Elons tweets that got removed. And it wasn’t removed by the people, because in the Birdwatch UI it still said “this note was voted helpful and is showing on the tweet”.

Here’s a picture of the note before it was removed: https://twitter.com/goldman/status/1588576046743687170?s=46&...

I couldn’t find the picture of the Birdwatch UI showing it’s still helpful and showing on the tweet when it wasn’t :( If anyone really wants it, reply and I’ll look more, I probably have it in my likes

The thread you linked to does in fact explain that it is behaving as expected, powered by Birdwatch contributors

There was like a few hours where it showed up as Helpful and showing on the tweet on Birdwatch (I saw like two or three separate screenshots of it) but not showing on the actual tweet, so I’m not entirely convinced

here's keith coleman (twitter's vp of product) explaining why sometimes notes disappear: https://twitter.com/kcoleman/status/1588596686477459457

and here's a screenshot of a MORE helpful note that got added https://twitter.com/stevanzetti/status/1588896632547905540

Some people, I've found, really WANT to believe everything associated with Elon is trash.
