To fix the Twitter feed, Musk mentions that users can tap the Home button, then, tap the stars at the top right of the screen and select “Latest Tweets.”
Meanwhile, former CEO Jack Dorsey responded in a tweet, saying that the Twitter algorithm was “designed only to save you time”.
Musk later noted that he was not suggesting any malpractices in the algorithm.
Musk wrote, “I’m not suggesting algorithmic malice, but rather trying to guess what you want to read and, in doing so, inadvertently manipulate/enhance your approach, without realizing it.” That this is happening,” Musk wrote.
