ElonMusk has again recommended people use the latest-tweets feed as he believes the algorithm-based one could manipulate users 'in ways you don't realize.'
Several days after prospective Twitter owner Elon Musk suggested Twitter users switch their accounts to the latest-tweets feed instead of the algorithm-generated one, the billionaire entrepreneur hit the microblogging platform again on Sunday to repeat the advice. And also explain how to do it.
Musk said he believes the algorithm is manipulating users “in ways you don’t realize,” prompting him to pin a tweet to his account on Sunday explaining to his 93 million followers how to display the latest tweets instead.2.

Musk, who recently made moves to acquire Twitter for $44 billion, said last week that the latest tweets “seem much better than what ‘the algorithm’ suggests.
Musk later responded: “I’m not suggesting malice in the algorithm, but rather that it’s trying to guess what you might want to read and, in doing so, inadvertently manipulate/amplify your viewpoints without you realizing this is happening,” before adding: “Not to mention potential bugs in the code. Open source is the way to go to solve both trust and efficacy.”
