How does accounts with 500.000 followers get mistakenly closed by a spambot?

This is obviously related to the cancel-thy-neighbour over Israel/Palestine that is going on at the moment. Mr. Musk is just too shy to admit it.

The twitter meme of putting replies to ELO's "Mr Blue Sky" for every lie Elon has told would probably make the song go on for hours

There is a decent related question for how many of those followers are legitimate?

I think it is somewhat likely that any account with a lot of followers has a lot of bot followers. I could easily see any "clean up the bots" script being wrong on taking down some legitimate posters that are in the neighborhood of a lot of bots.

Twitter's bot system is fundamentally broken right now.

If you look here you can see OpenAI being used en-masse across the platform all blue-ticked indicating that they will not be flagged as spam. And showing exactly what Musk said would not happen when he changed what blue-tick meant.

ChatGPT bots are one of the worse problem of Twitter, but I really don't get how the math can work for them. Between the blue tick and the OpenAI API costs, how can they make actually some profit with subpar-quality tweets that leech from big accounts and basically redescribe the original post? What am I missing?
