I didn't really 'know' Elon before his purchase of X - but have come to really respect him.
Not for making X a non-woke entity again, a real free speech platform.
Not for 'switching to Republican'.
Not for his Space-X achievements (which are impressive).
No, my respect for him is because of his HONESTY, which he exercised even though it cost him a mint in advertising on X.
His complete candor in exposing the FRAUD of X in their advertising at great monetary cost to himself.
He EXPOSED that 40-60% of their 'user' base was known to not exist. That it was nothing but BOT traffic.
He could have 'solved' that problem 'behind the scenes', covered it up to maintain ad revs, but he did NOT.
Know, that is the mark of an HONEST BUSINESSMAN - and I greatly respect him for that.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
