November 12, 20241 yr Did russian oligarchs really help Elon Musk acquire twitter? Yes, according to Grok. https://twitter.com/i/grok/share/LAmth8o9Z9JMWNHzmh5RF7YqR Quote Did russian oligarchs really help Elon Musk acquire twitter? Answer Yes, according to various sources and posts on X, there is evidence suggesting that Russian oligarchs played a role in helping Elon Musk acquire Twitter (now known as X). Here's what the information indicates: Court Documents and Reports: Court documents from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, as reported by The Washington Post and other outlets, reveal that a venture capital firm named 8VC, which includes personnel linked to the sons of Russian oligarchs Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich, was one of the investors in Musk's acquisition of Twitter. Both Aven and Moshkovich have been subject to Western sanctions due to their ties to Russia's political elite. X Posts: Posts circulating on X confirm this narrative, with users highlighting that the sons of these oligarchs, specifically Denis Aven and Jack Moshkovich, were involved in the funding through 8VC. This has led to discussions about the influence of Russian money in Western business ventures, especially in tech acquisitions.

Mina Kimes made the jump which I'm hoping prompta more sports writers to do the same. Since that's all I really wanted twitter for in the first place *sigh*. It's a small silver lining.

My feed is all dumb comedians and Philly sports stuff because that's what I follow. On new Twitter it was like 80% dumb gotcha videos and weird political ads.

Strictly eagles sports stuff, NFL stuff and a handful of comedians. I don't like anything. I share via screenshots usually. There is zero reason why my "for you" section turned into a crap show. X is a cesspool now.

Maybe try blocking accounts? It worked for me when I started getting OF girls. Blocked a bunch and haven’t had an issue since.

You do know that, on X, if you click the "following" tab at the top it will only show you accounts that you follow, right?

I've been doing that for awhile but even that is getting more and more ads. Plus I liked the "for you" section before. It used to show related stuff to my interests like rival beat writers talking about the next matchup vs the eagles. Now it's mostly "you won't believe what this woman found in her coffee! 😱😱😱🤯". Might as well just get on TikTok

Blocked a bunch and haven’t had an issue since. I tried the "I'm not interested in this" button and blocked a few but no luck. No big loss really. Again I only really used it for sports and dick jokes. Just annoying. Blue Sky is nice but the engagement numbers need to continue to increase to be a real replacement
November 14, 20241 yr Their algorithm seems to label everything pretty deeply and remembers what you clicked on even months later. My for you list is mostly content I enjoy, but every once in a while is stuff I'm not interested in My hope is the virality and attention politics has gotten over the last few months slowly fades away and becomes less. The for you feed will eventually reflect that

November 14, 20241 yr I like how the POTUS announced to the world that he was dropping out of the presidential race on X a few months ago, and libtards in here are still like "bluesky really is emerging, I think X's days are numbered." This is the type of post-election copium I want to see.
November 14, 20241 yr ToS changing tomorrow so Musk can harvest all of your data and feed it to his AI. I would recommend deleting your account and deleting off your devices. I barely use it, so not a big loss for me.
