It's definitely a Trojan horse. But I don't think the bottling is exclusive to X either. It may be worse there, but it is in the interests of the controllers to have the same bot army everywhere to sway and herd opinions towards their ideological goals.

Turning X into WeChat is an ongoing process. Every drama they manufacture is marketing for them to get truth seekers onto their platform so grok can build a profile around these users and make them easier to manage in the future..
