This is interesting.
Well, that’s stupid
It does not look like a coincidence to me.
There is only one word switched in the search.
I can’t imagine that it is.

I don’t know how you did that, but I entered all the same phrases and when I put in “christians” I got this:
I you look at the tweet itself, there are many that get the same results as I do. Somehow, this is fake. It has to be.
Or TikTok made a change after someone put this out

I think someone made a nice fake.

Or - much more likely - you and Musk both got suckered by a fake screenshot.

I cannot rule out the possibility.
but if Elon messed up it will be on the all the media, so I guess we’ll know.
No one in “the media” cares about Musk getting suckered by right-wing trolls on Twitter - it’s literally been happening every day for the last six months.
“Dog bites man” isn’t news.

I moved to Mastodon after twitter got “weird”, but still check it out once in awhile. Musk loves to comment before investigating.
Speaking of TikTok…
Will be great to see how they enforce this.
As far as I know (and I am guessing here)
Tik Tok does not gather any more information than Google gathers.
I enabled GoogleMaps so
- it knows how long I spend in McDs
- it uses that information to calculate things like “busiest time” statistics
- I see McDs ads
- I don’t know if it sells the information to America’s enemies or what they would do with the information.
(Hey, at least I don’t use Applepay)

I suspect there is something sneaky and wrong going on with the ban Tik Tok bill.
Nonetheless those are the results I got when I added a hash mark.
So I (now) believe the original tweet to be authentic.
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.
