Elon acting like he didn't know the former in a vain attempt to not look like a fool is more the story. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/12/twitter-celebrities-musk/ quote:Interviews with 17 people who represent, consult and tweet for celebrities show that Twitter is viewed as a high-risk, low-reward platform for many A-list entertainers. It’s a place where the discourse has become so politicized that many prefer not to engage personally at all, delegating tweeting duties to underlings or outside agents who post anodyne promotional messages. They have also been turned off by harassment or abuse. Instead, they’ve turned to platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, which offer slicker video tools and more-robust safety features that give users more ways of blocking out unwanted interactions.

Bots probably auto follow like the top 50 most popular accounts as an easy way to seem more human. That said this “investigation” ironically proves Musk’s point that Twitter is dead and all that’s left are bots and minor edgelords.

If you want to be serious, there are potential weight-savings in having a pure stressed-monocoque construction without big openings. That's not why the person who 'designed' that graphic did it though.

In some rare good news https://twitter.com/CaseyNewton/status/1527339663857373198 We grow closer every day to Musk getting banned and stealing the phones of co-workers to continue a tirade and getting them immediately banned as well. God willing the company will then fold entirely. fake edit - this seems dangerous https://twitter.com/CaseyNewton/status/1527341324889755648

Apple will charge an additional 30% of any tolls or parking fees you pay while driving their car, even though they had jack poo poo to do with building the roads or parking garage.
