Elon Musk's Tweets Now Fill Twitter Feeds

Twitter users started to notice that something had changed on the platform.

It is now hard to miss the tweets of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tesla and SpaceX, now the Chief Twit.

As per a recent report by The Verge, Twitter is now showing tweets of Musk even if you are not following him, and users have started noticing.

The tech news outlet notes that more users are now reporting that they are seeing the tweets of the billionaire first on their Twitter "For You" feeds. Besides his latest posts, users have started seeing more of his replies on the platform.

CNET notes in its report that Twitter has yet to respond to claims of Musk tweets flooding Twitter feeds. So it is still being determined why this is happening all of a sudden.

'Visibility' Issue of Musk's Tweets

It is worth noting that the tech billionaire recently complained about his dwindling reach on the service. The Verge reports that Musk believes that his tweets are getting less views than before.

The entrepreneur further claimed 95% of his tweets are significantly losing views. The Chief Twit even reportedly had to fire one of the engineers of Twitter due to this.

And as such, the big boss of the social network announced that they had fixed some issues in the service over the weekend. Musk says that they have fixed the "visibility" issue of his tweets.

However, shortly after he announced that they addressed the issue, users, including those who do not follow Musk, have begun seeing more of his tweets being prioritized.

It comes less than a week since Twitter faced a massive outage, which took down various features like direct messages and posting tweets.

The downtime occurred the same day Twitter rolled out a new Twitter Blue feature that lets its subscribers tweet up to 4,000 characters. On the other hand, non-paying users still have to settle with the 280-character limit on the Bird app.
