Is it actually impossible for small accounts to make it on X?

It's certainly possible, but a lot of things have to align for it to happen.

The first thing is to have no flags on your account.

The second thing is to make a post someone is interested in - not a rehash of something everybody's seen before.

The third thing is to have someone in network that is a large reputable account that will reply, share, or quote your post.

There is a long and winding cold start staircase that could get your post in people's feeds if you are a tiny account. But that's like buying a lottery ticket.

So being mutuals with a large account - that has a good reputation and is trusted by its own network - to give your post a boost.

It's worth a shot to try quote posting one of these larger accounts - if they are in network and you can add something concrete to what they said.
That will pull in some of their followers, and also might prompt them to reply to you.

Epstein was guilty, no argument. But "potential" co-conspirators in a filing aren't a client list or traffickers. Besides, Maxwell's in jail and Jean-Luc is in hell with Jeff.
If we KNOW people did something, we should be clamoring for prosecutions, not using the "files" as some Holy Grail.

@andy_buksterlin Once you start down the "amtisemitism" training path, you have to do "antiIslam", then "antiChristian", then "antiSocialist". To be fair, anyway.
Best to just acknowledge that all cultures are not equal and leave it at that.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@andy_buksterlin Fair, exaggerated and recycled is closer to it. It's not "Breaking" which is the bogus part. Either way, not a reason to go clear out the grocery store.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@andy_buksterlin Guilty as charged, Andy. Proud normie. Show me the shooter's name from the knoll and I'll buy the coffee 😂

Show me the trafficker in the Epstein files, and the same deal applies.

@DanXAura Ad sharing was the best, hand's down. I made a lot of money on that program. And it was more related to X revenue. Elon's foray into politics is what killed that.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@Hunter_Eagleman Considering his refusal to endorse that act was what cost Cornyn his job, this is a very good way of looking at it.

@PinoAmericano I bet she feels unsafe. She needs to get back to MN so her Democrat buddies can give her a heads up when the Marshalls come to serve the arrest warrant.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@TheChadLedger It isn't about using family, it's about not properly framing the ad so that the actual point was clear. This allowed the left to shout "pedophile protector" because the video did not make it clear the "liar" part was simply about Amy living in a tent.

@angryoldfart990 At 1/5th the size, Ukraine is losing many more soldiers. Perhaps this is why Zelenskyy is willing to accept the loss of territory now?

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@taylorbilt @Reuters Does this mean that if you want a job, you can get one? Last I looked there were over 5 million job openings.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@MargoinWNC Black Panther. 'nuff said.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@3ng_t4n I thought it might be the "6%" left over.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

On Fox & Friends, Zelenskyy said "Yes" when asked if he would freeze the war where it stands, leaving Ukraine with over 75% of its territory and Russia holding roughly 19%. His condition is firm security guarantees from the US and Europe.

Even though that hands Putin all the territory he currently holds, Moscow is still saying no. Lavrov argues a ceasefire would just give Ukraine time to rearm. Instead, Russia is demanding more than the current front line. They want Ukraine to surrender all of Donetsk, including Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, cities Russia doesn't even control.

After a 3-hour meeting between Witkoff and Putin on Wednesday, technical talks are set for around Nov 10. Trump reportedly wants a deal signed at the G20 at Doral (Dec 14-15), though Putin hasn't said if he will attend.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@ScienceDJX Perhaps. Or, one could note that Zelenskyy indicated Ukraine is willing to consider a cease fire shortly after the Skyshield interuption.

@deeptrance Good to see you have your ducks in a row.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@RonDeSantis Far more likely these are neophytes enthralled by the idea of giving AI agents access to their accounts to pay their bills, etc.

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@MarioNawfal Perhaps symbolic of the global destruction inept actions wreak?

[Tom Finnell @d2fl]

@XntriKtheOrig We have no real clue whether the F-Bomb will remove the monetization from that post. What we do know is the only real way to get a good chunck of the OCR money is to have Elon repost you.
So, it's really a lottery, not a program.
