It is no new information that the left-wing political commentator and Twitch streamer HasanAbi is a critic of Elon Musk. He has constantly taken shots at Musk for his decisions in the past. When the whole blue tick debacle happened over at Twitter, the Twitch streamer was one of the first people to call out Musk. A similar incident has occurred once again
Hasan has once again targeted Musk. This whole incident happened due to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known famously as AOC, who became a target of a parody account. This garnered the comments of many celebrities like MrBeast who were concerned about the situation. And this became a means for Hasan to comment on Musk’s policies.

The U.S. representative AOC has posted a tweet recently concerning a Twitter account impersonating her. According to her, “The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility. It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread.” This was a concerning topic for her, but she did not get the solution to the problem she needed. The parody account actually retweeted her and gained over ten million views by this.

And this brought the attention of many celebrities, with MrBeast, concerned about why this account is still able to remain active. The YouTuber inquired via his tweet why Musk would be letting this misrepresentation slide. Hasan was quick to reply to MrBeast and informed him about the actions taken by Musk. HasanAbi informed MrBeast that rather than shutting this account down, Musk has signal-boosted it. For fans who do not know the term, signal boosting is the act of re-posting useful information from a specific source to one’s own social media followers.

HasanAbi tweeted,” he signal boosted it earlier. not exactly a big-brained long-term business move.” Along with this, the Twitch streamer also shared some stats. These stats showed the dire state Twitter was in following the joining of Elon Musk. The platform is a third of what Musk paid to acquire it.
