It looks like Elon Musk has made it a mission to eliminate spam bot accounts from Twitter. As per Forbes, last year in October, Musk revealed his plans to bring down the spam accounts to less than five percent. Moreover, the entrepreneur tagged spam bots as the “single most annoying problem” on the social media app. However, Musk’s agenda could negatively affect a few NASCAR drivers.

It’s true that Twitter bots are used to spread misinformation and sometimes run scams among app users. Hence, eliminating them might make the social media app a much safer space. But how could this have a negative effect on NASCAR drivers? And how much would be the extent of the damage?

Which NASCAR drivers will be affected the most?

According to SparkToro‘s fake follower audit as reported by Gambling.comGambling.com, the removal of bots might affect the follower list of many NASCAR drivers.

As per the data shared by them, Stewart Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick might lose the maximum number of followers after the bots are eliminated. Following him closely would be Chase Elliott, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, and Denny Hamlin.

When it comes to the highest percentage of fake followers, the Twitter accounts of drivers like Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr, and Chase Elliott are expected to suffer the maximum hit. With 50.9%, 49.6%, and 48.9% fake followers respectively, the three drivers might lose almost half of their followers after the bot combat changes are implemented.

Hence, even though Harvick might lose the maximum number of followers, Keselowski is expected to lose the maximum percentage of his fan following on Twitter.
