In Elon's defence, these days you don't need the co-operation of the website to boost anything, more often than not it's likely bot farms. You just throw a few thousand in some cases at it and then all of a sudden you've got news articles being written about you because people don't know any better. Then the 'commentators' pick up on it and treat it as if it's a genuine viral sensation though thankfully some are at least a bit sceptical these days.
