Judge Mark T. Pittman assigned to Musk's thermonuclear lawsuit a Trump appointee.

The flagship accounts belonging to Disney, Paramount, Lionsgate, Sony Pictures, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery (CNN’s parent company) haven’t posted on Twitter in roughly 10 days, following Elon Musk’s disturbing endorsement of an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, for which he still hasn’t apologized.

Most of the ads I see on Xitter (pron. "shitter") are for odd little amazing you-can't-live-without gadgets each with a short video and claiming to be from Boketu, Kafego, etc. shop – typically three CV syllables (like in Japanese), always a different account. They are clearly bot-generated, the name changes circumventing my rapid muting of each.
I don't know if they are genuinely trying to sell their tat, or if there is something darker going on.
Do others share my experience and bafflement?

Sugar, The ads are among the replies in a Xshitter thread. They look like any other reply except off topic from the convo.

I see those as well as investment "gurus" with a few hundred followers hawking their can't miss newsletters, and rare earth mining outfits seeking investors who will get rich quick just trust us. Sprinkled in between those are weird scripture mangling pretend xtians peddling various permutations of their own hate gospel, MAGAts who desperately want to be noticed by somebody/anybody, porn bots with enlarged...kidneys, and the occasional wannabe creator/influencer thirsty for a click or a follow.

Ads on Twitter show up on your Following and your For You tabs. Ads do NOT show up within your lists, another reason for using lists.
I'm annoyed by ads within Twitter when I'm on my iPad. However, I use FireFox on my Windows laptop. The FireFox add-in Adblock Plus prevents ads from showing up within Twitter.
A sample ad on my Twitter today - note the word Ad in the top right corner. Before Musk took over, it was much more obvious when you were seeing an ad instead of a real post.

Elon Musk deletes ‘Pizzagate’ meme following widespread backlash
https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4 ... press.coop
https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4 ... press.coop
Billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday took down a post from his account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that embraced a years-old false conspiracy theory about child sex trafficking after the tech and media mogul received widespread backlash and mockery.
Musk’s posts contained a humor-based sequence of images, informally known as a meme, promoting the debunked notion that a child sex ring had been operating out of pizza parlor in Washington, D.C.
“Pizzagate,” as the conspiracy theory became known across the internet, resulted in a man opening fire on the pizza parlor in 2016.
Musk posted that it “does seem at least a little suspicious,” in reference to the meme, which claimed “Pizzagate is real” and that the expert who debunked the conspiracy “went to jail for child porn.”
The billionaire’s post was met Tuesday with widespread pushback from media and technology watchdogs.
