Why is it even so damn important for him to get rid of bots that he has to take these extreme measures and make the X experience for everyone so bad? Or maybe it’s just always the same excuse to justify his stupid decisions

““the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots.”
He’s able to think, and he’s all alone thinking and coding twitter all by himself
What a hero

As someone else pointed out, his entire perspective of Twitter is skewed by his own usage. His following and crypto bs have resulted in all of his tweets being bombarded by bots trying to get attention. It severely impacts his ability to use Twitter, and he’s been disillusioned into thinking this is everyone’s experience of the platform.
When you look at it from such a narrow perspective, I’m sure yeah, bots are a pretty big issue.

I guess his goal was to kill it since the beginning, or since he was forced to buy it.
He sees his employees as political enemies
And now that normal people are gone, most those still here are bots and people influenced by bots so maybe he think the “vast army” is growing but its just the proportion that grows.

He’s the only person who really knows anything about websites. Well, tbf he did fire practically everyone at Twitter that wasn’t an H1B programmer or network engineer.
