(📢) So many of us were wrong. I was wrong in thinking Musk largely benign. Other journalists likewise assured us Twitter wouldn’t do a neo-Nazi heel turn. This op-ed is titled, “Why I Don’t Think Elon Musk Is Going to Open the Nazi Floodgates on Twitter”: https://t.co/GTECKiLvV4 — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) We are seeing the Nazification of Twitter in real time—targeted attacks on Blacks and Jews in particular—and I have Christian users in my feed daily (even followers) accusing me of whining over nothing? Have we learned nothing from history? Seriously? https://t.co/6yFZR9VxmR — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) I mean Jesus H. Christ, in the midst of the FBI *just announcing* a *nationwide increase in threats* against American Jews, this is what @ElonMusk is doing on the most high-traffic politics-oriented website in America? How is this not front-page news? https://t.co/Ue0hQWJ96L — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) As a curatorial journalist, my job is to see the trends in what others report—not to be the news story myself. So I was loath, at first, to talk much about my own experience. But the more you look, the more you see the trends here. Really scary ones. https://t.co/7oe7K7NeMk — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) And in the midst of all this the media has remained almost entirely silent. Oh, there have been some scattered accounts of Musk and his antisemitism, but nothing about Twitter orchestrating a targeted attack on feeds synchronized with a neo-Nazi plot. https://t.co/ZSqIrCtGKO — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) But lest we forget that the neo-Nazi target list publicly provided to Musk (see PROOF article in prior tweet) *also* targeted high-traffic Black American–run feeds and women-run feeds, note that @CBouzy experienced the same targeted attack that this feed lately experienced. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) It is in this context @ElonMusk now appears to admit a purge he ordered led to the loss of 37,000 followers by one of the highest-traffic, Jewish-run, left-leaning feeds on Twitter—this one—which we now know was a fraudulent targeted attack that auto-unfollowed *thousands*. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) ...and using the antisemitic “puppeteer” trope against decorated Jewish veteran Alexander Vindman, Musk has been spreading the most vile conspiracy theories, ones that—to be charitable—at least *border* on the antisemitic conspiracy theories his new neo-Nazi pals daily push. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) Even as he was doing the neo-Nazis’ bidding via their list of left-wing accounts they want banned; and un-suspending/banning known neo-Nazis; and daily corresponding with Ian Miles Cheong, who’s praised Adolf Hitler in the past; and using the “88” neo-Nazi code on Twitter... — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) ...even as he has now begun mass-suspending/banning targeted *left-wing* feeds on the explicit, public demand of a list of 5,000 proposed accounts provided by neo-Nazis and other white supremacists. But now we know that is just the tip of the iceberg. https://t.co/n74Hn8r79T — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) @ElonMusk has already said he wants Republicans to take the White House. He has begun using the major-media-identified “Democrat Party” *slur* publicly (there is no such party; it is the Democratic Party and Musk knows it). He has mass unsuspended/unbanned far-right feeds... — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) @ElonMusk remains silent on this—even as he scurries to resolve every complaint far-right trolls bring to him about Twitter. The reason seems obvious, now: this at least appears to be the first ever premeditated, coordinated, politically motivated attack on users by Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) Not only have there been no sudden drops in high-traffic far-right feed follower numbers—quite the opposite; they’re gaining thousands or tens of thousands of followers—but high-traffic left-leaning feeds now have *thousands* of testimonials from auto-unfollowed followers. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) Shortly after I began writing about this on my feed, @ElonMusk suddenly announced that because of so-called spam/scam purges, people should expect to see follower fluctuations. But that’s not what happened here. In fact, that appears to be a lie to hide what really happened. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) I heard this from so many high-traffic progressive feeds that I tested the theory myself: I’d lost 37,000 followers since Musk took over; heard from some followers that they’d been auto-unfollowed; so I warned my followers of this, and have now gained 5,000 back in 72 hours. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) The evidence we currently have indicates that the new CEO of Twitter, @ElonMusk, initiated a targeted clandestine attack on specific high-traffic progressive feeds that *auto-unfollowed* thousands—even tens of thousands—from those feeds, and he’s now covering up what he did. — PolitiTweet.org

(📢) The only issue @ElonMusk should be working on today—instead of gabbing with his far-right troll pals, taking their notes on Twitter, and spreading conspiracy theories—is finding out why his progressive-feeds-only bot purge went awry and unfollowed thousands from those feeds. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS2) This suggests high-traffic progressive Twitter accounts may have been targeted for follower purges that far-right accounts didn’t face, and that these purges—which may indeed have focused on bots—went awry, destroying progressive follower counts. @ElonMusk must come clean. — PolitiTweet.org

(PS) This feed lost 37K followers after Musk took over Twitter. When it asked followers to check if they were still following, many reported that they’d been auto-unfollowed. This feed has now *gained* 4,000 followers in 48 hours. Other progressive feeds report similar phenomena. — PolitiTweet.org

Far-right feeds are gaining tens of thousands of followers. Progressive feeds are reporting follower losses of thousands or tens of thousands but also that followers are being auto-unfollowed. When they alert followers, they gain thousands back. That’s not a bot purge, @ElonMusk. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter is purging a lot of spam/scam accounts right now, so you may see your follower count drop

@oldesleuth66 I have no idea how to answer this question. My Twitter feed has no paid subscribers. And my Substack is continuing on precisely as before—Post is not a replacement for my Substack activity (at all), it is a replacement for my Twitter activity.
