Musk tweeted: “If many people who you follow or like also follow me, it is highly probable that the algorithm will recommend my tweets. It’s not super sophisticated. ” “In coming months, we will offer the ability to adjust the algorithm to closer match what is most compelling to you. ” Note: if many people who you follow or like also follow me, it is highly probable that the algorithm will recommend my tweets.

In coming months, we will offer the ability to adjust the algorithm to closer match what is most compelling to you. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 17, 2023 Several users expressed their thoughts on Musk’s post.

User-minutes are up >10 per cent from last year. ” The algorithm needs & will get major upgrades. We will still publish it later this month, but please expect to see many bugs & silly logic!
