13. I noticed it with official government Tweets

Pre Musk, Biden's Presidential Tweets would get millions of views and Retweets. Post Trump, some would get just a couple thousand. It was blatantly obvious.

Sounds like Meta was in on getting Trump elected too.

A friend, who is a Conservative Biden and Harris voter, was teeling me about his 20 something kids. They all thought Harris was stupid and an extremist, he was surprised and they told him of the stuff they've seen on social media. He asks to be shown and they showed him videos of her that were edited to make her look comically dimwitted or pushing some extreme idea.

This is an absolute power that was unleashed on the public and there's no way to fight it right now, at least without a willing Congress.
