Elon Musk had recently suspended Twitter purchases for a while, on the grounds that he was disturbed by spam accounts and was not cleaned. The famous businessman wants Twitter to be a democratic and free space where everyone can express their opinions. For this reason, he thinks that spam accounts should be cleaned from the platform and an authentication system should come.
Famous businessman Elon Musk made some statements about his algorithm on his Twitter account last night. He then stated that he was actually just trying to guess what Twitter users might read and was not malicious. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Elon Musk thinks the Twitter algorithm is manipulating users!
The businessman, who froze his purchases after Twitter did not clean up spam accounts, announced that users were manipulated by targeting the platform’s algorithm. Elon Musk reminded that they can choose “Recent Tweets” from the Stars icon on the Home tab to fix the algorithm from his account last night.
Another famous billionaire made a statement on the back of this post and stated the following:
“I’m not suggesting malicious intent for the algorithm, instead I’m trying to guess what you might want to read. In doing so, the platform manipulates your perspectives without realizing it.”
Elon Musk shared another tweet after this sharing and expressed the following words:
Not to mention possible errors in the code. Open source is the way to resolve both trust and influence.
On the other hand, all this happened after Elon Musk was going to review his 100 Twitter followers after choosing them at random. The famous businessman recently announced that he would measure how many bots there are by choosing 100 random followers after suspending their purchases.
