As Platformer reported, site engineers at Twitter are tasked to boost the visibility of Elon Musk’s tweets for all the people who’re not following him – through the For You feed.
This comes after the US President’s tweet supporting Philadelphia Eagles garnered a record viewership, triggering Musk’s company to highlight their boss through a tweaked code of the platform.
Tweaking Twitter For Visibility Boost
We all know how affectionate Twitter is for Elon Musk – leading the billionaire businessman to buy it for $44 billion for just being his favorite social media platform. Though he’s revamping it in multiple ways to better the experience for users – he may also be tweaking it for his own causes!
As Platformer reported, Twitter engineers have pushed a customized algorithm to boost the visibility of Elon Musk’s tweets – through the For You Feed. This was the result of President Biden’s tweet supporting the Philadelphia Eagles garnering over 29 million views on Sunday – triggering the platform management to do something to highlight their boss above the President!
As your president, I’m not picking favorites. But as Jill Biden’s husband, fly Eagles, fly. https://t.co/YtgaEC83Qj — President Biden (@POTUS) February 13, 2023
