Could Elon Musk need some attention? As many internet users report, including in France, tweets from the owner of Twitter have been ubiquitous on the platform for a few hours. Many users post video captures of their Twitter feed showing all of Elon Musk’s posts as well as all of his replies.
This development comes just days after Elon Musk called his teams together, believing their tweets weren’t popular enough in his eyes. Going so far as to fire an engineer suggesting that the situation could simply be linked to a lack of interest in his activities, after a year 2022 where he found himself in the center of the news.
Feed Internet users
This February 14 in the morning, after multiple comments about the massive appearance of his tweets on users’ screens, Elon Musk responded with a humorous image, suggesting that Internet users would force-feed his messages.
This February 12, Elon Musk had also release in certain parameters of the platform’s recommendation algorithms. He specified that these were designed to limit the reach of the most followed accounts so as not to overrepresent them in the news feed of Internet users.
A particularly critical point for Elon Musk, who with 129 million subscribers is one of the most followed. But, for now, this algorithmic modification seems to benefit him above all: among the most followed personalities on Twitter (128 million subscribers), the owner of the company is, by far, the one who tweets the most.
To prevent Elon Musk’s tweets from appearing in bulk, there is still a solution: stop using the algorithmic display and replace it with a simple chronological display. To do this, you must choose the “Subscriptions” tab instead of “For you”, at the top of the screen.
