Context: The CIA intern picked the wrong tweet to unleash the bot farm on. It's totally natural to talk about Iran in some tweet about El Salvador.
I wonder if this got triggered by "10,000 soldados irán en San Salvador". No intern mistake, just a homonym.
That would be the funniest case and so I will it in my mind to be true.
That shouldnt be possible, this mistake can only be made by humans, to computers these are completely different words
That would be a great point, if "they will go" and "Iran" weren't both spelled with an á in Spanish.
They are exactly the same spelling.

Wow that's a shitload of tweets lol. Pretty crazy.
It's also so goddamn stupid how they all post the exact same thing. Like come on, they could easily use AI to come up with more varied posts. Are they that lazy? Or incompetent?
I noticed they did the same copy/paste shit with Cuba Libre stuff.
It's low effort because we're the only ones who care to notice.
You'd think that they'd put a different body in charge of different theaters of operation. Why are they trying to do imperialism on a budget?
Not CIA bots, that's for damn sure.
There's always the possibility that his purchase was subsidized to do exactly this kind of shit with less oversight. It kind of makes sense when you consider the stuff he was whining about to get out of the deal, just him projecting onto the existing platform what the CIA offering him a bailout was saying. Do we know where Elon gets his drugs?
The ability to generate accounts with backdated history and registration dates even. Just bake the CIA microservice right into the platform, why not? Probably not really that intimate a relationship, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
