It is Math Again (part X + 1)

 Musk's first "transparency reports" should stir the pot quite a bit

From this article:

""Since January 2020, over 11 million accounts were challenged for violating the COVID-19 information policy, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content were removed.""

"As you can see from the numbers above, that process of “removing or annotating” moved forward at a colossal pace. Threats and warnings were issued to tens of millions of accounts. Thousands were suspended and countless tweets were deleted.  (emphasis mine)

To have "tens of millions" of accounts you need to have at least 20 million.  11 million is just a little over 1 x 10 million accounts.

Twitter has about 237 million users.  11 million is a little over 4%.  Now these are not who published 1st party tweets, but might have forwarded information.

11,230 accounts suspended is about .005%  of all the total accounts. Or about 1 out of every 21,000 accounts.

Now Elon Musk thinks that 20% of Twitter accounts were bots, Twitter claimed 5%

Even taking Twitter's numbers, that would be 11,850,000 - over 11 MILLION accounts!

Hmmm - could be a coincidence but similar to the number of accounts challenged.....

It's Math again.
