Did you read the article? Tucker is interviewing Putin and releasing it on X. This is undoubtedly going to draw a lot of attention and interest. None of the other stuff matters that much if X has some exclusive content that is of interest on the world stage.

Yeah, I did read the article, and it is exactly why I think it's not organic: are there really that many people interested in Tucker "not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary'" Carlson and what would Putin - the dictator of a geopolitically major country, with state media, official and unofficial channels doing go his every bidding…

I usually don't give a shit about news and don't watch tucker carlson, but I thought this is a noteworthy enough topic to get my attention. Like it or not, millions of people are going to watch this interview.

> Or is that geopolitically major dictatorship preparing to game twitter ahead of a major propaganda push?

Who cares if it is propaganda. This is going to be an opportunity to hear the president of the most talked about country speak about why people are talking about them.

Yes, it’s either their lies or US government’s lies, or the industries and other billionaires that own the governments.

So you won't watch the interview? It doesn't interest you whatsoever (even though you know he'll lie - politicians, amirite?)?

I don't use X, but I will be watching the interview. I'm just interested, it has my attention. Plain and simple
