The most telling data point I had on Twitter was the first few days after Russia invaded Ukraine. Putin had his [Internet Research Agency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency) hyperfocused on maintaining messaging control inside Russia. All the bots went quiet and it was remarkably blissfull, peaceful, engaged, supportive, and civil.
And then, less than two weeks later, the hounds were released and it devolved into chaos once again.

So, this will be interesting. Trump and Putin are buddies (making Trump a traitor). Trump and Musk are buddies. How is Musk going to deal with his buddy Trump’s buddy Putin trying to lie to the American public?

If they took it seriously they’d be the first social platform to ban their own CEO, which honestly would be pretty epic.

They’ve been alerted to it.
They won’t *do* anything about it – but hey, they know about it!

This is real interesting. A next-generation information operation play. They set up long term accounts, prepared years in advance. They sent Musk in with the objective of taking Twitter private and giving cover to setting up a huge surge of bots in the network.
Then they pull the trigger. I saw a lot of the messaging in this report right here on reddit. I saw people get angry and argue about it
Well played Russia. They are fight on a front most cast see.

If anyone wants to know what twitter would look like without Russian disinformation and propaganda, go check out bluesky.
No need to be a long term user of bluesky, just 5 minutes of scrolling will be enough to get an idea.
