Yes, what was that Steven King advice; "...two shitty pages in a day"
He knows what he's doing. He likes to take risk, move fast and break things. Money is probably something he doesn't care about....
I suppose if you torture the data enough, it confesses =D. I believe EV ownership is not associated to political orientation, all other things being equal. (source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096669231...)
I think most of us knows this is not true. Zero evidence and we known he didn't bring Tesla engineers to count lines.

My guess is he wanted to lower the price... He's friend with Jack Dorsey, who said the bot problem is worse than Twitter is admitting. And nobody want's a social media platform discussion is ran by sucky AI.

> IMO framing it as "get rid of the bots" is the wrong way to solve the problem because it's unsolvable,

I think it's super simple actually. Wanna get a blue check-mark to prove you are human? Here, pay us 10$ pledge. You'll lose it, if you break the "rulez". Add financial frictions to the game, and bots strategy won't scale...

How about we just print capital letter the "BOT" on automated accounts? And then just add a optional filter for comments/likes/shares?
