     @KevinCarson1 But the real point here is made way down in the comments: as long as lazy reporters/mainstream outlets keep embedding tweets in their pages, Elon’s going to reap (and brag about) those numbers. Every time someone even scrolls past such an embed, it juices Twitter’s engagement figures. I wish to hell folks would stop doing that. (Grauniad, I’m looking at you.)
