Two Headlines Have Nothing to Do

I'm sure these two headlines have nothing to do with each other. Reuters: Elon Musk claims “all-time high” Twitter signups, averaging 2M+/day in the seven days to November 16, up 66% YoY, and user active minutes of ~8B/day, up 30% YoY Joseph Menn / Washington Post: China seems to be flooding Twitter with porn tweets mentioning places where people are protesting, overwhelming Twitter's radically reduced anti-propaganda team

A screenshot shows two consecutive news headlines about Twitter: one celebrates record signups and activity, while the other reports porn tweets being used to overwhelm Twitter’s weakened moderation team. The joke is that the second headline may explain the suspiciously positive engagement numbers in the first, despite the caption pretending they are unrelated.
