Was Twitter About Eighty Percent Bots Before the Sale?

A former FBI analyst looked at Twitter before Elon Musk purchased it and determined that bots were somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 percent. At the high end, he estimated 80 percent. The company had been saying the share was 5 percent.

The 5 percent figure came from a random sample of 100 posts, called only allegedly random. Elon Musk paid 44 billion dollars. Selling Twitter for 44 billion dollars is the last moment anyone wants to learn the service is mostly robots.

The 80 percent estimate sounds high and is probably right. Propaganda has always meant leaflets and films. The same logic uses the greatest vehicle of propaganda the world has ever seen and an army of comments. Manufactured outrage is what most things are now.
