More Elon hit pieces. Last one was one hour ago. Also substack. This one is from "The Concerned Bird", registered 5 days ago on substack, and has one post.

Points for being clever. The big reveal is a screenshot from the github.io documentation of a bot/agent platform called ElizaOS. The documentation actually has an example agent configuration for a "trump" bot, presumably for generating fake content on social networks.

Sometimes things are just truth?

Sure. All you need is evidence. A brand new Substack account with no real attribution and zero pedigree is not "truth".

Considering Elon is a free speech absolutist, it shouldn’t matter what’s written about him either way, correct ?

I’m not arguing whether it’s true, I’m saying sometimes things might be true and in a free society people should be able to write stories.

topspin
Yep. The same applies to my comments.

Sure? Who said you can’t comment ?

Typically anonymous whistleblowers create new accounts to avoid being uncovered

This lacks hard evidence one would expect from a legitimate whistleblower

How can one proof/reject authenticity of this article?

Do not see any hard evidence in the article to back up the claim of election interference. Without it, just a great story and nothing more.

Slightly related: what did Zuckerberg a few days ago reveal again about manipulation on his platform in 2020 and forward?

Doesn’t really make it better though hey.

This is just a X employee who really wants more people to see the nice documentation pages they worked so hard on :P
