To the extent one can, this person brings receipts, including pointing out a trail left in source code.
Excerpt:
We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn’t stop them.
Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions.
The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn’t. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being “Black Hat MAGA.”
What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We’re currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we’ve done is immeasurable, and I don’t know if it can ever be fixed. People don’t know what’s real anymore, and that’s exactly what we wanted.
The lack of self-awareness here is absolutely astounding.
what?
After 4 years of liberals laughing away MAGA conspiracies about hacked voting machines in the 2020 election, suddenly those concerns are very serious and very real?
I haven’t seen anything in the way of actual evidence something nefarious happened here, except some hefty speculation about split ticket voting and a couple vague (but entirely on-brand) comments from Trump.
It’s just funny to me that liberals are unironically repeating the same baseless accusations that chuds were for the last 4 years without much more in the way of evidence (if any at all)
If you can’t tell the difference between the nonsense Trump pushed out and this it sounds like you have a loose grip on objective reality. His points were incoherent and he got laughed out of court by judges he appointed. It wasn’t taken seriously because it was a joke.
Notably, these patterns in the voting data were also present in 2020 data, but less stark, and starting at 600 votes minimum. That is why Trump is so angry about 2020, and why he is convinced the dems cheated. He is angry because the country hated him so fucking much that they actually out voted a literal vote shifting algorithm.
Also I’m not a lib, and it was completely eviden they were attempting to steal the election the whole time through other means. (Changing laws, removing poll booths strategically in POC areas, gerrymandering, purging voter rolls, etc).
He also can’t keep his mouth shut about anything and just admits to shit unprompted - which we’ve also seen.
Trump and his allies cited exactly the same kind of ‘anomalous voting trends’ as evidence of vote manipulation. Unless you have something more substantive than ‘these ballots don’t look like we expected them to’ then this is exactly the same kind of non-evidence MAGA had.
The biden administration was exceptionally unpopular. Anti-Kamala democratic voters have been very clear about why they didn’t vote for her. Rather than reckoning with their complete unpopularity, democrats would rather blame their loss on ‘woke’ politics and vote manipulation.
They even have the publicy pushed smoothing algorithm that was used to make it less obvious

Why would a clandestine foreign agent publish malware on a public code repository? Some random reddit user claims to have found a repo on github that uses a publicly known username tied to a politically embroiled tech company and now we’re supposed to believe it was used to falsify an entire electoral system?
It doesn’t even pass the sniff test bud, what credibility are we supposed to lend to these anonymous users?
It’s a public piece of code with the admin password for the dominion machines that aligns with the discrepancies in the data.
The admin password was not public when the commit was pushed.
You’ll need to read the rest for yourself I’m afraid.
I don’t much go for self-indulgent fantasies, thanks.
edit: i feel like this is like someone seeing a magic trick and immediately being convinced wizards are real.
No they didn’t lol. Quote the evidence they presented to illustrate how daft it is in comparison. They failed at basic addition among a plethora of other equally hilariously incoherent shite.
That poll just shows a third of people who flipped from dem had it as their top issue. it doesn’t prove that’s why she lost the election even without considering the fraud.
Do you have any evidence that isn’t based on the assumption that democratic voters simply wouldn’t split their vote? Or the assumption that people wouldn’t just vote for president and not any other offices?
Like, IP logs or recount discrepancies? Evidence of malware on the machines? Anything other than “this looks implausible”?
