Twitter CEO Elon Musk is under attack because he is bringing free speech back to social media. With free speech unleashed, the establishment won’t be able to control the narrative.
Musk knows this and took on the challenge anyway. He knew he would be attacked and he has been. There has been a coordinated effort to get advertisers to quit Twitter and has faced a fake and loud celebrity revolt.
Now he is facing what seems to be a coordinated attack linked to Alexander Vindman. Vindman said on Twitter: “Kinda weird that @elonmusk gets to decide how like a half-billion people communicate. Way too much power for one erratic individual to wield, don’t you think?”
Twitter users quickly noticed something strange. Other accounts posted the exact same message as Vindman.
They’re bots in human form

They alerted Musk to what was going on. Elon laughed it off but warned Vindman and the rest they were violating Twitter’s terms of service.
Musk said:
“They’re bots in human form.
“Note, spamming, whether done by a set of humans or bots is against ToS.”
A Twitter user said:
“And they’re all echoing Alexander Vindman.”
Musk said:
“Like digital ventriloquist dolls.”
Another Twitter user said:
“Hating on elon musk full time seems like a really pathetic hobby.”
Musk responded with the sad truth behind the attacks:
“They won’t give up controlling the narrative easily.”
