even at the 2020 number in 2 years it will be 5 - 6 years old at best. Most servers are replaced in that time frame. As well setting up a server farm the same size can be done for less than $44 billion. I think it was the connectedness of Twitter and the acceptance of Twitter traffic as normal to all services that watch that kind of thing, the appeal of the acquisition.
It is easy to hide automated network traffic destined to a social platform as just other social traffic especially when the traffic is not distinguishable from normal user traffic. As well the APIs that already exist for X and the prevalence in new API's make any activity as not suspicious.
We agree the acquisition was to further the scheme of CBDC and other technologies that can be used to hold people hostage. I am just stating it is the reputation and network traffic that makes it desirable not the copper and silicon.
