Not sure if you heard, but Elon Musk owns Twitter now. And as we eagerly await the Apocalypse, a lot of noted extremists are doing gangbusters when it comes to their respective follower counts.
As multiple outlets are reporting, crypto-fascists like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene alongside straight-up fascists such as Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro are all seeing ridiculously massive spikes in their Twitter audience numbers. DeSantis, for example, is spreading his queerphobic, racist propaganda to another 200,000 users, while both Rep. Greene and Bolsonaro have racked up around 100,000 new followers so far this week alone. These kinds of numbers are exponentially higher than their average stats, seeing as how each usually manage a few hundred or thousand new followers per day.
