With so many people speculating on the Twitter/Musk stuff, here is some math...
I will not comment on whether Elon or Twitter does this or that. Instead I will do some math, because that is what I like to do, when I have no clue about the legal stuff.
Stats with sauces:
According to FinancesOnline, as of 2019, Twitter had 330 million users.
And according to Daily Mail, Biden's followers are 49.3% bots.
Biden has 22.3 million followers, so here is some mathematics for you:
22.3 million Biden followers x 0.493 bot ratio / 330 million twatter users = 3.33 % of Twitter users are Biden's bots. In other words, Biden's bots account for 3.33% of the total users.
Discussion
Now comes the million dollar question;
Are all the bots following Biden?
It is not unreasonable to assume that a bot would likely follow all the biggest twitter influencers. However, it is not proof either. So this could lean to both sides.
Conclusion:
Who knows. If all bots follow Biden, and there are still the same number of users as of 2019, then there are less than 5% bots on twitter.
However, if only a certain percentage of bots follow Biden OR total twitter users have dropped significantly, then we have the opposite conclusion.
Dear mods and bots, I like you, I love you and I only have a small 41 June Call on TWTR. I am doing DD because it is fun, not because I think I will be rich off of it.
P.s. I really like you, dear mods. You really are the best people in the world
