I no longer post to this account. There is at least one person who is pretending to be me with a handle that adds an "s" to the end of my handle.

@paulmromer No. Elon is not making bots in order to boost numbers. Bots will increasingly be a problem on social media. 194 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Does this seem like a real person to you? Or some LLM? Could Elon be boosting numbers and engagement by using bot accounts, as Ashley Maddison did? But even better, maybe he is creating bots that pretend to be people who were once on twitter and have left? https://t.co/IWDRY9KL
