In the last couple weeks, X has been joined by:

Mark Zuckerberg
Jensen Huang
Denny’s
Bernard Arnault

Welcome to the global town square.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@BernardArnault @LVMH Bienvenue sur X !

@realEstateTrent I went to an all-inclusive when I was 26 years old and was eating the worst pasta I’ve had in my life.

An overweight couple sitting next to me named Bob & Judy turned to me and asked me, “What brings you to Me-hico?”

Never again.

@yacineMTB @qbitstream Sacrifices had to be made.

It’s done; we’re just debugging.

@jerryjliu0 Anytime a company is struggling to fundraise, I tell the founder to start posting on X.

A few weeks later, company is funded.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@Clavicular0 Your posting game is close to perfect. I could not have imagined a better response.

Generational banger

@RepLuna For transparency, the bulk of them were spamming thought-leadership slop about artificial intelligence -- to grow accounts and receive paid promotion offers from AI tech companies.

99.99% of spam on X is economically-motivated.

Just plain old grifters.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@cremieuxrecueil Nothing changed.

@070guy Whenever I need to relax, I investigate a botnet

Didn’t know Scotland had so many AI labs

@skye_wonder I have personally infiltrated every Telegram group.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

We found 42,000 accounts automating replies using chatbots and have removed them from the platform.

X's core value is providing an authentic pulse on humanity -- and using AI to programmatically engage with users without a human in the loop runs counter to our mission.

@space_univrs This spam attack was mitigated tonight. Your feed will improve in the next 6-12 hours.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@CryptoParadyme You found another pivot. Taking it down now.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

There are a few spammers on X that have been pivoting their strategy for the last 6 months.

One of the them (“This guy is a great trader ⬇️”) has pivoted a total of 40 times after each method has been blocked.

Some of the techniques are so creative and fast that it feels like they’re sitting right next to us.

At this point, we might as well hire them because they are just as familiar with the X codebase as us.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@CryptoParadyme We blocked the Grok one yesterday.

Our team is standing by waiting for their next move. We are 10x more proactive than before.

This would fester for months at Twitter but our turnaround time now is 12-18 hours.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@JensenHuang @nvidia Hello, follow 4 follow?

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

@karatademada We will clean this place. I don’t care how many enemies I create. X will not be manipulated by criminals.
