So this is why Elon is suddenly more upset than usual about bots

Yeah, but they deprive their bosses of the opportunity to walk into the building and have everybody who meets them say "Good Morning Mr. Analwart Sir" before shutting their office door and playing Minesweeper for 3 hours
Yeah, Elon isn't manly enough to charge for access to Twitter, just like he wasn't manly enough to fight Zuckerberg. Bokk bokk bokk
Wasn't that the hospital?
Uh, you ever see the movie Misery?
Actually, no.
Then this'll all be new to you.
If you look at the actual report https://statesuniteddemocracy.org/resources/electiondeniers/ it's a little more nuanced - in Alaska, for example, the governor is a known election denier, but there isn't an election denier secretary of state or elections commissions chair or whatever, it's just him. Likewise in Montana - the governor's an election denier (and a gigantic asshole) but as far as we know the AG and SOS are not.
We need to get a bunch of people he hates - AOC, Zelensky, the NHTSA - to talk about how this is a terrible idea and would make them very sad.
I don't work for anybody, and I don't know what list of talking points you think I'm repeating other than the specific assertion that Germany shouldn't have shut down its nuclear plants.
I could just as well accuse you of astroturfing for the coal power lobby.
But since you're accusing me of being a shill anyway: yes, nuclear power is clean and safe and our refusal to embrace it has cost us decades of progress in reducing carbon emissions + is continuing to do so now. The anti-nuclear lobby has a tremendous amount of blood on its hands and I'm not the least bit ashamed to be on the opposing side to them.
So we're currently at the 'apology that actually makes things worse' phase, which means just a few more days until 'unconditional surrender but even so nobody will ever trust you again'
"I would like to have seen Montana."
Not only that, it'll create a vicious cycle where engagement drops to the point where the people who still post on Twitter (politicians, reporters, celebrities, etc) no longer bother with it, thus leaving much less content for paying users, with the end game being that Twitter is the place where shithead tech bros and neo-Nazis talk to each other and pretty much nobody else.
