Schön dumm, das ausgerechnet bei den Substack-Faschos zu posten.

....currently doing the same thing in germany....

😳

Ich sehe kein Insiderwissen in diesem Text, nur lauter Dinge, die alle wissen, oberflächlich zusammengefasst. Das ist in meinen Augen nicht mehr als eine schlecht geschriebene Verschwörungserzählung, bis hin zu den angeblichen "bread crumbs" im letzten Absatz. Sorry, aber linker QAnon wird uns auch nicht helfen.

Sehr vage und nichts Greifbares in dem Post. Unmöglich zu sagen ob da irgendwas dran ist

as like it was a surprise !

now we have tiktok, meta inc, and other big tech pushing pro-trump garbage all a time.

I knew it. Always said so. Elon cheated.🙄

These are broad and vague accusations which require no insider knowledge. Read a paper or two on disinfo networks and you've got all the buzzwords necessary to write this. I don't see any reason for this to be legit. If it is, the whistleblower should contact ProPublica, not be posting on Substack lol.

Like a publisher?

Thanks for sharing

@npr@flipboard.com @npr@mastodon.social Can this be corroborated?

big if true. Hope they can whistleblow. Elon is vengeful from past situations though.

I'm not surprised if such things did happen. But I am not inclined to believe this (or any) particular narrative in the absence of proof.

Let's avoid the messy thinking the "others" engage in -- it is an iterative loop from which we must break free!

Well then you’re a scumbag traitor

> Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral.

Anyone got a link to an article?

concerning if true

Good article describes how the fascist corporate "social feedia" operates for their benefit.

Bit late now

Look, who knows if this is true, but the fact is that it is not surprising at all if it is.

Giving corporations the ability to modulate, pick and choose what's amplified, is death to democracy.

Make no mistake, this is what's coming to every corporate platform, including Bluesky. When the chips are down, there is no way any for profit entity stands up to the pressures that will be brought to bear to toe the line.

Public social media is the only defensible online space.

Don't worry. We weren't using Twitter anyway. We gave up a year ago.

es gibt doch längst auch eine Studie, die genau das nahe legt:
https://eprints.qut.edu.au/253211/1/A_computational_analysis_of_potential_algorithmic_bias_on_platform_X_during_the_2024_US_election-4.pdf

Von den eigenen Beobachtungen und diversen gut dokumentierten Fällen, in denen Elon Musk persönlich in andere Profile eingegriffen hat (ElonJet, Asmongold...) mal abgesehen!

"What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations."

I hope this individual finds the means to become a whistleblower.

This, how much I’d like it to, doesn’t pass the smell test for me. I have no problems imagining something like this took place, but publishing on substack?? The Nazi-site of all the places you could choose to publish on? With a clever name and all.
This scores about 98% on my bullshitometer.

Edit: added archive link to the substack post here https://archive.is/2025.01.25-075525/https://theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks-and-xs-role-in-2024-election

this article is interesting but lacks specifics like the names of the fake accounts, goes big with claims of Russia and Iran (??!!) interfering, claims Andreesen gave early access to Eliza. But it's weirdly vague. Nerds usually include too much technical detail. This has none. No screen shots, no path to corroboration.

It is also "too good to check" in the sense that it lines up with what many of us suspect about X.

Is it real? It is possible. But I think unlikely.

Musk can clarify.

He said a long time ago he would open source the algorithm.

So let him complete the task (which he never fully did, before).

No need to doubt the claim, it's obvious upon login.
