“If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!”

“System purge of bots & trolls underway. Please reply to me or @XEng if legitimate accounts are suspended. X Corp will be tracing the people responsible and bringing the full force of the law to bear upon them.”

“This essentially means that X Premium (fka Twitter Blue) is free for accounts that generate above 5M views. Note, only views from verified handles count, as scammers will otherwise use bots to spam views to infinity.”

“Because the humans behave like bots on CringedIn [@chadwahl] Bots are harder to distinguish on LinkedIn than X not because they are better”

“Sure sounds higher than 5%! https://t.co/Va7TxxzoI6 https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/technology/former-cia-and-fbi-security-specialist-says-more-than-80-per-cent-of-twitter-accounts-are-bots/news-story/6996bf16dd9008d096d95fb665d05104”

“Welcome! Orbital space centers and mass drivers on the Moon will be incredible. [@milichab] I’m joining @SpaceX and @xai with @JasonBud. X is the company realizing science fiction - reusable rockets, humanoid robots, data centers in space, and more. Almost 10 years ago, I joined SpaceX as an intern on Dragon 2 crew displays. This was in the era of the first rocket”

“@teslaownersSV @SjvTesla It is very difficult to stop bots & trolls, while not affecting real users. Won’t be perfect either way, but Twitter is far more resilient to fake accounts than it ever has been.”

“Sounds “legit” lmao [@stevenmarkryan] Remember when Old Twitter filed 15 consecutive quarterly reports with the exact same copy-paste line claiming bots were: less than 5% of mDAUs *THAT* quarter? Every single time. Identical wording. What an amazing coincidence that they never once said "<4%"… or "<6%"… or”

“@GailAlfarATX The bots/trolls generate fake activity, so Twitter may seem a little less lively, but actually it’s just that the fakery is gone”

“@yvanleterrible2 We aren’t doing well at surfacing tweets from less prominent handles, as it’s almost impossible to distinguish between authentic humans vs bots/trolls. This is why $8/month with phone and optional ID verification, as well as organizational affiliation, is so important.”

“@saylor Yes, this will destroy the bots. If a paid Blue account engages in spam/scam, that account will be suspended. Essentially, this raises the cost of crime on Twitter by several orders of magnitude.”

“@PepitoTheCat @BillyM2k @ericnakagawa Responding to feedback, Twitter will enable a light, write-only API for bots providing good content that is free”

“@xDaily Correct, read for free, but $1/year to write. It’s the only way to fight bots without blocking real users. This won’t stop bots completely, but it will be 1000X harder to manipulate the platform.”

“@teslaownersSV You’re welcome. Note: apparent engagement on Twitter will seem lower, as bots would like/follow/retweet much more than people, but now you know it’s real.”

“@foxmediallc @paulg Twitter Verified tweets are more likely to be recommended to others, as they are less likely to be bots or troll farms”

“@coffeetabletsla @PPathole @Twitter With usernames like that, the bots aren’t even trying hard!”

“@cb_doge @X That’s coming. The only numbers that will matter in the long term are verified followers & likes. This applies to all platforms. Either verify identity through a few dollars of payment per month or be overrun by millions of bots that cost less than 1/10th of a penny each.…”

“@jeremyjudkins_ We’re trying hard to stop bots & trolls on this platform, so that may be part of the reason”

“@_jairath Mostly fake. That platform is overrun by bots next-level. They implemented view limits, but not write limits.”

“I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means”

“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.”

“Let’s make Twitter maximum fun!”

“Comedy is now legal on Twitter”

“The new CEO of Twitter is amazing https://t.co/yBqWFUDIQH”

“Huge thank you to everyone who supported this platform and our mutual quest to support freedom of speech!”

“If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill. No limit. Please let us know.”

“For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally”

“Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in! https://t.co/D68z4K2wq7”

“Twitter is ALIVE”

“Twitter DMs should have end to end encryption like Signal, so no one can spy on or hack your messages”

“I love when people complain about Twitter … on Twitter 🤣🤣”

“Changed my name to Mr. Tweet, now Twitter won’t let me change it back 🤣”

“The European Commission offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. The other platforms accepted that deal. 𝕏 did not.”

“Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform”

“Twitter Blue Verified subscribers can now upload 2 hour videos (8GB)!”

“When will politicians, or at least the intern who runs their account, learn that lying on this platform doesn’t work anymore? https://t.co/wP7H4AJFwG”

“Instagram makes people depressed & Twitter makes people angry. Which is better?”

“Happy to host Kamala on an 𝕏 Spaces too”

“Like this but X https://t.co/PRLMMA2lYl”

“I have been against a TikTok ban for a long time, because it goes against freedom of speech. That said, the current situation where TikTok is allowed to operate in America, but 𝕏 is not allowed to operate in China is unbalanced. Something needs to change. [@elonmusk] In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the 𝕏 platform. Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for.)”

“Twitter right now is 🔥🔥🔥🔥”

“Wasn’t Twitter supposed to die by now or something … ?”

“Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition to being exec chair & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysops.”

“Video & audio calls coming to X: - Works on iOS, Android, Mac & PC - No phone number needed - X is the effective global address book That set of factors is unique.”

“The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened …”

“If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if Trump is coming back on this platform, Twitter would be minting money!”

“New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science”

“Record usage of this platform!! https://t.co/SfWyi9kBWd”

“We have recently received many requests to suspend or otherwise impact accounts on the left. However, 𝕏 is a free speech platform that aspires to give equal voice to all, within the bounds of the law. That is what we will do.”

“Lil X turns 4 today on May 4th https://t.co/YbyJ4DHTBa”
