This is random, but apparently the astroturfing started on X. I've been seeing this Oliver Anthony rear end in a top hat everywhere over the last week, and it was very apparent his popularity has been manufactured.

I googled "how fake is oliver anthony" and the first result was:

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Matt Walsh is just Ben Shapiro in a fake beard and Groucho glasses.

He’s pretending to be a TradCath in a desperate attempt to bring back the antisemites.

I can't wait for the US government to force Elon to divest from SpaceX, as that has real national security concerns.

While we're all laughing at him on Twitter, I assume there are concerned military types and others wondering how far they can trust this guy.

Walsh pretended to to be a hip errr hipster for years before his current style. like look at stuff from the obama years and how his production stylist would dress him up in whatever regressives thought a "hipster" was. (arm tats, beanie and red plaid shirt,etc)

I think that disabling blocks is gonna be the thing that finally pushes a significant amount of people to leave Twitter

There was some study that showed it takes a fair amount of poo poo before people will give up on a social media site, but once they leave they don't come back

Didn’t Elon imply that Jack was a pedophile during the Twitter Files? I feel like he’s rooting for no blocking because he wants X to fail.

Just like how he banned people for complaining about bans before he's probably just blocking people that complain about blocks because he thinks it's an epic ironic meme or something.

Reminder that this fellow was a Twitter employee only because Twitter bought out his previous company and he requested that he be paid in the form of an annual salary to maximize the amount he pays in Icelandic taxes because he feels that he owes it to society for helping him so much (he has MD and has benefited greatly from Iceland's social services). Elon fired him during the Great Purge, then Halli noted publicly that it would be extremely expensive for Twitter to fire him because (per their agreement) they would have to pay him out everything else that they owed him. Elon went full "pedo guy" on him for a while, accusing him never doing any real work because of his disability. Apparently someone was still alive in the HR/legal/PR offices at Twitter then because Elon had to furiously backpedal and do damage control after spending a few days insulting the most well-liked man in Iceland.

lol that was his first big "I'm very thin skinned about the thing I just bought" moment. He perma'd everyone who changed their profile name to Elon Musk to protest/troll him over deleting varifications and it made him mad that there were suddenly a bunch of accounts with his PFP and name going "I love trans people!" and "lol I spent $44 billion on a piece of poo poo website" and such.
