    Nearly half of President Biden’s 22.2 million Twitter followers are bogus, a new audit revealed.

    The audit, which was done for the social media giant by software firm SparkToro, found that 49.3% of the president’s followers are “fake followers,” according to Newsweek.

    SparkToro has defined “fake followers” as “accounts that are unreachable and will not see the account’s tweets (either because they’re spam, bots, propaganda, etc. or because they’re no longer active on Twitter).”

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is attempting to buy Twitter, has expressed concern over the growing number of fake accounts and proposed a potential crackdown on the sham accounts.

    Show of hands, who is truly surprised by this? LOL

    Man, this dude is just one joke after the next. He is a good-for-nothing old-ass racist dude who is probably dreaming of the day slavery comes back. I never liked him, not even when Obama picked him. He is one of those spineless snakes that is just looking to pocket some money and he does it with empty promises and incoherent ramblings.

    Bots are a huge issue on the platform though. I remember reading about some Chinese group inciting crap between people in the US, using race-baiting and other tactics and it works. People get made a damn fool on Twitter. At this point, I don't understand why anyone would want to be a part of that platform.

    Not surprising. Anybody with a social media presence has bots following them, it comes with the territory.
    Also, many celebrities, entertainers, "influencers", podcasters, and aspiring public figures buy "followers" to increase their visibility, Q-rating, and attractiveness to advertisers:

    I'm not suggesting that the White House has bought followers (they wouldn't need to, honestly), but there are definitely bots following Biden & every other major political figure.
