Twitter vs. tinfoil hat

[matt819]

Random thought.

Twitter was started in 2006.

Went public in 2012, has been through several CEOs. As of last year, it still hasn't been profitable. Stock price down almost 70% since its IPO. (Haven't gone back to look at the backgrounds of its VC investors.)

Der Drumpfenfuhrer has been using it assiduously (some would argue criminally) for many years. I can't help but wonder where Twitter would be now without the man-child's presence.

We know the Russians play the long game, and we know now that millions of Twitter users aren't human or are inactive.

So - tinfoil hat time - to what degree has RW billionaire/Russian support of Twitter supported long-term Russian efforts to manipulate the social media platform and, through it, other platforms as well?

1. If trump used so many bots before the election to win the election couldnt someone have hacked

into the voting machines and caused thousands of bots to vote for trump?

2. Why would he say he cant lose votes even if he shot someone. He was certain. And how do you lose a

bot vote? The exit polls of the people said Hillary was ahead. And bots cant talk. But can they vote if the voting machines were hacked?
