Elon Musk Says Twitter’s Algorithm ‘Does Not Make Sense’—Will He Fix It After Acquisition?

Elon Musk's Twitter deal is something that is still under review and consideration by the company he is buying it from, but he already told the world that its system "doesn't make sense." Still, it seems like he has not backed out from the deals and will continue his pursuit of the company, making it private again for the first time in years.

The Elon Musk-Twitter deal will soon unfold as the deadline is nearing, and having sensed this alleged problem on its system, will the tech CEO be the one to fix it?

A known entrepreneur has questioned Twitter's algorithm in a recent tweet, and he also tagged Elon Musk to ask about his plans for the company once he acquires it in the future. Vinny Lingham said that the algorithm does not make sense as there are users with 1,000 followers or more, but only get less than 100 likes for their tweets.

Here, Musk responded by agreeing with Lingham's statement regarding the company, with the conversation posted on Twitter's platform.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said that Twitter's system "doesn't make sense," also agreeing with other concerns that people have on the platform, especially with shadowbanning and its malicious software.

Musk Needs to Buy Twitter

Musk may still be actively pursuing Twitter now, especially with a deadline coming soon for the tech CEO on his acquisition, as according to CNN, failure to buy the company will center on the trial. For the case not to push forth, Musk must close the deal and acquire the entirety of the company.

Additionally, it is also up to the CEO to improve and better Twitter's system, especially with the issues which he pointed out and agreed with online.

Elon Musk and Twitter

Earlier this year, after a surprising turn of events from Elon Musk for buying the largest shares of the short world social media company, the tech CEO announced his plans for the acquisition of the massive company. However, fast forward to July, there have been announcements that Musk is no longer buying Twitter, which the top billionaire confirmed.

Musk and his team defended their actions, claiming that Twitter's bots were previously undisclosed in their negotiations was the reason for this backing out of the deal.

However, another change of heart took place earlier this October, especially as Musk reinforced the Twitter deal again, saying that he needs the company for his future venture. The future venture is a previously known project by Musk known as "X.com," and it will center on a decentralized platform that is available for all.

The turn of events has now led to Musk chasing after Twitter, with the social media company now looking to renegotiate the terms, and seemingly not interested in selling to Musk's team. Still, both are nearing the deadline for the acquisition before their trial takes place in the Delaware court, a case that will pit Musk and Twitter against each other.
