Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s to-do list seems quite fluffy after Twitter acquisition. Musk, who previously complained about many features of the platform, has now given rights to other users. Sorting tweets chronologically is better, according to Musk.
Elon Musk, who turned to the social media world after companies such as SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company, is very close to taking over Twitter with a $44 billion deal. In the tweet he shared the other day, he told his 92 million followers that “chronological tweets are much better than what the algorithm suggests.”

According to the algorithm that Twitter users have been having trouble with for a while, the tweet sorting feature may finally be removed. Musk believes it would be more accurate for Twitter’s algorithm to selectively sort tweets, with the most recent tweets appearing at the top.
