The majority of traffic from Elon Musk's X may have been fake during
the Super Bowl, report suggests
These numbers are legitimately shocking.
This week, Super Bowl 2024 shattered records, with the NFL
championship broadcast on CBS becoming the most-watched televised
event in U.S. history.
Also riding high from the big game? Elon Musk's X. The company
formerly known as Twitter published its own press release, lauding
Super Bowl LVIII as one of the biggest events ever on the social media
platform with more than 10 billion impressions and over 1 billion
video views.
However, it appears that a significant portion of that traffic on X
could be fake, according to data provided to Mashable by CHEQ, a
leading cybersecurity firm that tracks bots and fake users.
According to CHEQ, a whopping 75.85 percent of traffic from X to its advertising clients' websites during the weekend of the Super Bowl was
fake.

Would Musk do this? Tesla's vehicle battery indicator for mileage
available was tweaked to give the impression older batteries still had
full mileage available. I believe so....cheaters are cheaters.
