Kurt Eichenwald lost 10,000 Twitter followers, at least some of whom DIDN'T unsubscribe





I lost 10,000 followers - some who said that they didn't unsubscribe - but one tweet of mine had responses from more than 800 trolls. Never been like this before. @elonmusk twitter is pretty bad.

.@elonmusk - why are so many of my followers reporting they are being involuntarily removed from my feed, and need to refollow me? And why have hundreds of trolls descended on my feed today? And why are so many blue checks reporting the same thing? What the hell are you doing?
