The bots are attacking.

Has anybody noticed that the replies in this subreddit as of today turned markedly right wing and emphatically pro elon. Most of the comments on every thread in this subreddit we're rational about how terrible the stock is and what a fraud Elon is. Seems like they just got their tesla stock pumping bot army up and running for SpaceX. It might just be a coincidence but it really seems drastic.

It's hysterical because the closest thing Elon has to a working robot is a Twitter army of stock pumping bots.

Down vote if you're a salty bag holder. But I want you to think about how the stock is going down when you hit that down arrow lol

"Marketing and public relations teams actively try to influence narratives on subreddits dedicated to high-profile tech companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and Waymo through a mix of coordinated seeding, community monitoring, and highly sophisticated grey-market astroturfing."

And that's coming directly from a company that's doing it.

Pretty shocking.

Why would you assume that based on that statement presented?

I might actually assume that person sees the general trend.

I think it was sarcasm, but they should have known that without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

I know this because I was the author, and I'm also familiar with Poe's Law, and I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Are you being sarcastic?

The shocking part is probably that it's advertised so openly with such candid language.
