For many of us, Twitter’s “For You” is filled with Elon Musk’s tweets and replies to tweets. Not everyone is getting their first feeding from Elon, but on Monday afternoon, more than a few people noticed that something was different.
Several of us here at the edge they’re seeing more replies from Musk than usual, and I personally counted five at the top of my feed, with many more scattered among other users’ tweets. The same goes for some accounts that don’t even follow Elon Musk.
As reported by platformsZoë Schiffer and Casey Newton, Internal Twitter data indicates that while Musk’s account peaked in search rankings in April 2022, engagement has dropped significantly since then and engineers found no issues with the Twitter algorithm.
Over the weekend, Musk said that Twitter implemented some sort of change to fix this “visibility” issue, with the billionaire CEO. declaring that 95 percent of his tweets were not “delivering.” Not sure if this is related to this Elon-filled feed, but I hope Twitter fixes this soon, unless the new mandate is to get the boss more views by any means necessary.
