We took a close look at Elon Musk’s more than 150 million followers on X aka Twitter. What we found is…concerning.

      44 billion for 150 million followers… thats almost 300 dollars per follower. And most of those are fake!

    Imagine having all the resources in the world and then spending all your time on something only 12 year olds think is impressive.

      Yeah! Why would people be interested in talking about some of the biggest names in tech making idiotic decisions motivated by greed, hubris, and vanity? That’s totally boring! We should all be talking about switching to Linux, beans, and flashlights!!!

        There’s a lot of apps that let you filter words or phrases if it’s not built into lemmy

    probably a lot easier to make a ton of fake accounts when you own the website

      Currently. There’s still a tiny bit of hope at the bottom of the box.

    At least these accounts are inactive, instead of actively asking for feet pics.

    Ugh. I think Quinton Tarantino alone made at least half of these accounts.
