Twitter Engineers Filled Feeds With Elon Musk's Tweets Because He Was Jealous of Joe Biden
ScreenshotOnce Musk got to San Francisco, he summoned Twitter’s engineering team and told them that if they didn’t fix the engagement problem , he would fire them. Platformer found that about 80 Twitter employees were assigned to the task.The team worked overnight to try to find out why their boss’ tweets weren’t as popular as they once were. One reason could be that Musk had gotten muted or blocked by many Twitter users sick of his constant antics, they theorized.
In the end, Twitter’s engineers created a special system to ensure more than 90% of Musk’s followers saw his tweets. The system allows Musk’s tweets to bypass Twitter’s content filters, which aim to show users the best tweets, as explained by Platformer. It also artificially boosts Musk’s tweets to guarantee they rank higher than anyone else’s in Twitter’s ‘For You’ feed. As a result of the change, many users were bombarded with Musk’s tweets in their feeds on Monday.
