Someone better tell Elon that nearly all the other car brands rank higher in quality, their EVs are available at lower cost, and many have more features than Tesla. But Elon fires people who tell him the actual facts.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-brags-that-elon-musk-called-him-to-talk-about-twitters-future Ted Cruz Brags That Elon Musk Called Him to Talk About Twitter’s Future Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) revealed Monday night that he spoke with Twitter owner Elon Musk about the social media company’s plan for the future—calling their conversation part of the company’s “road map.” At the same time, Cruz managed to lay out his standard menu of criticisms of Democrats, “big tech” and others who had allegedly committed some sort of “collusion.” Appearing on Hannity, the Texas Republican was asked to give context to a letter he sent earlier in the day to Twitter, as well as Meta, Google and TikTok, announcing the investigation into these platforms’ content recommendation systems. “I launched a full investigation into ‘big tech’ censorship, where we are going to take the ‘Twitter Files’...[and] what Elon Musk has made public and use that as a road map to go after…all of Big Tech that is trying to silence conservatives,” said Cruz, a ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee. “And we’re going to bring accountability, we’re going to bring transparency, and we’re going to shine a light and expose their collusion with Democrats in the deep state to try to silence conservatives.” Despite Cruz’s vow, House hearings on the matter have thus far been underwhelming for those seeking to prove “censorship” of conservative voices, with former Twitter officials testifying last week that Republicans and Donald Trump himself petitioned the company to remove undesirable tweets. Although Musk’s “Twitter Files” instead focused on communications to Twitter by Democrats and government agencies, Hannity insisted Monday that the files really did expose how “corrupt” things were at the company before Musk purchased it last fall. Cruz then praised the buy as a “big damn deal.” He claimed it shows that Musk, who has lashed out against the “leftist agenda,” pushed voters toward the GOP, and temporarily banned reporters who cover him critically, is committed to free speech. “Last week I spent over a half hour on the phone with Elon talking to him about what he is finding at Twitter and using that as a road map,” Cruz said. “And I have to tell you that the folks at Google and YouTube and Facebook and Tik Tok — they are losing their minds because a member of the club wasn’t supposed to admit it,” he added, referring to alleged “collusion.” Hannity asked the senator if he would perhaps place "Twitter in a different category now" — apart from the other social media companies — since that Musk has taken over and attempted to "clean it up." Cruz responded "absolutely," suggesting Musk's buying Twitter is "a game changer" by "exposing the corruption and collusion with Democrats in Congress; the collusion with the Biden White House; the collusion with the deep state, FBI, CIA and the DOJ." who could've seen this coming?
Such a thin skin.... all because someone else got more attention than him. Elon Musk reportedly ordered Twitter engineers to boost his tweets after more users saw Biden’s Super Bowl post https://fortune.com/2023/02/15/elon-musk-tweets-boost-joe-biden-super-bowl/
I don't follow Elon Musk on Twitter. Prior to this change I found that 25% of my notifications and items in my feed were from Elon Musk after his purchase of the company. Now the percentage is up to 90%. Keep in mind that this is what I see instead of people I actually follow. You got to be a very thin skinned boss to threaten to fire the rest of the engineering team unless they artificially make you more popular. The latest trend on Twitter is #BlockElon, and I can see why. Twitter Engineers Filled Feeds With Elon Musk's Tweets Because He Was Jealous of Joe Biden Musk reportedly threatened to fire the rest of the company's engineering team if they didn't increase the number of views on his tweets. https://gizmodo.com/twitter-special-system-boost-elon-musk-tweets-1850116947
One of the reasons his engagement plumetted was because people started blocking his ass so the algo stopped pushing his garbage to the masses. They've now "fixed" that "error" for him only.
Twitter can't hold onto its current advertisers. Now is starting to recruit weed advertisers. What additional low quality advertising will Twitter recruit next? Twitter’s New Policy Allows Ads for Cannabis, THC products in the USA https://adcann.ca/blog/twitters-new-policy-allows-cannabis
Looks like Tesla operates just as well as Twitter...

Of course if you flood everyone's Twitter feed with Musk's posts -- even if they have him blocked --- then his number of impressions will go up. It's sad that man-child Musk has to do this because he is jealous that a tweet from Joe Biden got more views. Elon Musk's Tweet Traffic Jumped 737% After He Ordered Algorithm Change: Report https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musks-tweet-traffic-jumped-131801286.html It however reached the point where even Musk supporters are getting outraged that 90% or more of the Tweets in their feed are from Elon Musk. Elon has now promised to address this. You cannot have a functional social media network if you effectively only get messages from one person. Is your Twitter timeline full of Elon Musk? He says there's a fix on the way If your timeline is full of tweets by Elon Musk, you aren't alone. https://www.pocket-lint.com/is-your...of-elon-musk-he-says-theres-a-fix-on-the-way/
There is plenty of evidence that Musk ordered his Twitter staff to boost his impressions after the Superbowl. Multiple studies -- plus simply going to your Twitter feed and notifications and finding out that 90% of it are posts from Musk. Plus his claims that a fix is on a way. Now he has reversed his tune and is saying it is false reporting and he is going to find, fire & sue the employee who leaked the "false" information. At this point it is a laughable circus. Elon Musk says Twitter will sue a ‘disgruntled employee’ who planted a ‘bogus article’ about his tweets being boosted https://fortune.com/2023/02/17/elon...e-leak-bogus-article-tweets-super-bowl-biden/
