Twitter chairman Elon Musk has openly challenged bots and trolls on the platform to “attack” him.

What happened: Musk posted two emojis depicting bots and trolls in a Twitter thread on Sunday. The entrepreneur said, “Cool, the bots haven’t been able to swarm to the top of my answers yet!”

“A lot of progress, a lot of hype,” said Markus in typical DOGE language.

Earlier Sunday, Markus asked Musk if all bots were “dead,” and Musk said “mostly.” The Dogecoin co-creator posted a meme with the text “Burn Them All” in response.
