If you force Twitter (X) to go to the 'Following' tab, rather than the 'For You' tab, then you just get who you follow.
I am aware of that, but I think then there's just one chance of seeing specific posts as they're only in chronological order? Also from sports teams accounts etc. a lot of posts are nonsense that I'm not interested in, which Twitter has done quite well in filtering out as I've not interacted with them at all, even if I follow the account.

A chronological timeline would mean you see tweets once (barring ICYMI posts or retweets). 'For You' is a mix of follows and things Elon think you'll engage with. His tweets, mostly.

Safe to say he’s also a bot?
Highly, highly unlikely. Running a bot is costly, and still pretty sophisticated to set up. He also took Sunday off. This guy gets tired and frustrated.

These advance-fee scams can be profitable operations, but they're often in the developing world, and if they were two bots, there'd be thousands of emails by now.

Scammers still go for that personal touch.
