I don’t think he’s lying but I also don’t think one could say that it is proven he hasn’t modified the system for his benefit just based on the public information on views/impressions/etc.

I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to fake these public facing numbers if a system was modified to boost his tweets.

While I get being skeptical these legacy news organizations, I also don’t see how we could trust Twitter directly in this situation especially given what we’ve already seen what happened under previous leadership there.

Edit: sorry if any of this came off as combative, I’m just irritated with people throwing out how things have been “proved” with equally subjective/potentially unreliable data.
