Alleged #X whistleblower published a thing about #Elon's election manipulation that sounds completely plausible to me:

> "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 knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from #Israel, #Iran, and #Russia were running their own influence campaigns"

> #ElonMusk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat #MAGA."

> "What started as US #electioninterference has now spread to other countries. We're doing the same thing in Germany and other #European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed"

@eloquence agree, though a) the stuff about #ElizaOS is compelling and b) i've seen other credible poeple prior to this talking about Elon using bots to pump #TSLA on Twitter. i may have even seen the proof.

@cryptadamist @eloquence

Is there any way to… um.. ahem, deep six this in other words, deep six Tesla stock with the same malefactor code?

I would so enjoy Tesla, crashing, and burning in the same way his goddamn starships do..

@eloquence also remember this chart showing the inflection in right wing engagement on the platform the day Elon endorsed trump?

It's plausible, but nothing that Eliza does is fundamentally novel; character.ai has been in that business since 2022, including with similar "character definitions". I created some myself when the product came out. There have apparently been 20K chats with my "Carl Sagan" bot since I created it. :)

Do I think that Elon did more than what's known, which is already bad enough? Absolutely. But I'd have to see more evidence for the specific claims by Mr. Bird to believe them.
