Elon Musk takes over Twitter

[Rockstar]

Here’s what Musk said:

"Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated," said Mr. Musk. "I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it."

He has also said he wants to get away from ad based revenue and implement a new paid subscription service. Which may help authenticate who the real humans are. I don’t think spambots have credit cards or bitcoin .

The guy is a genius and I really don’t think he has time to pay that much attention to the daily flood of all the simple minded arguments over the latest clickbait, sensational headlines and memes about him or others either. I hope he succeeds in making it better and makes a crap load of money doing it.

This is a definition of a spambot:

In its most rudimentary form, a spambot is a programme that is used to spread across various avenues of the internet. It can be in the form of an email, or as is the case with Twitter, in the form of a fake or stolen profile, that spreads malicious comments. Hackers and spammers have used spambots to spread malicious links, attack and harass people on the internet, malign campaigns, and in some cases, interfere in governance by swinging elections. Spambots have also led to legitimate accounts being hacked, which have then been used to spread misinformation. Clearly, spambots represent everything that is wrong, and everything that can go wrong with social media, and the Internet in general.
