I posted a tute a few days ago that ended with a wisecrack, "Look at what Must did to Twitter."

Oddly I got an email from fosstodon saying I was mentioned by elonmusk001o@mastodon.social suggesting I sent a private message via telegram for more information but only "dedicated fans" get a response. However, no 'mention' could be found when I logged into mastodon.

Has anyone else seen this behavior - I kind of wonder if a LLM is determining who gets a canned reply that is then deleted.

@bzdev There's been a horde of "Elon Musk" accounts being opened all over. They always post a similar message. The one you mention was reported to us and suspended by one of our moderators. As far as I can tell, the account started spamming around 9:00 in the morning yesterday (MST) and was suspended by both us and mastodon.social by 10:45.
