Back in it's heyday on The Register (UK), I once posted the first comment in a thread. And I didn't enter simply "FRIST!" in it.

Elon Musk admitted he cheated at video games to get high scores, a transcript of a private online conversation he had shows, seemingly concluding a fiery scandal over the billionaire’s outlandish claims to be a globally-ranked player.

German has a word for people who aren't really Nazis because they're making improper Nazi salutes.

It's "Nazi".

We also have a word for people who engage in willful ignorance to protect such individuals.

It's also "Nazi".

I bet Centurion7999 is a weird 14 year (in maturity if not years) old who really thinks he's super clever. He has no idea why most people around him don't respect him and maybe never will. Tried to roll int when he needed wisdom, of which he has none.

And I think by his standard most nazi's are doing the salute wrong as well since most people don't have built in protractors, lol.

This is the substack of an anonymous Twitter whisteblower detailing how a team within X was tasked by Musk to influence the 2024 election.

Take it with a grain of salt, since the identity is unknown and the claims not verified yet.

When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical.

We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide.

One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic.

We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them.
