Surprised no one dropped this link yet. I haven't had a mixture of shocked and uncontrollable laughter at clear ineptitude since the Trump administration.

Elon's Super Bowl Tweet Flopped, So He Had 80 Engineers Boost His Tweets

According to Platformer, Elon Musk asked 80 Twitter engineers to come up with solutions to why his posts were getting less engagement than Joe Biden.

AFTER ELON MUSK’S Super Bowl tweet garnered less engagement than Joe Biden’s, the Twitter CEO threatened to fire several of the company’s engineers and had 80 employees build a system so that his tweets would be viewed by more users, according to Platformer.

The report on Tuesday detailed how after the Super Bowl, he had engineers at Twitter come up with a new way for his posts to receive more traction, after his Super Bowl tweet got nine million impressions and Biden’s got 29 million.
[...]
By Monday afternoon, engineers were able to send out a code that would allow Musk’s tweets to bypass the algorithm and boost his posts by a factor of 1,000 by using a tool called the “power user multiplier,” which only has been applied to Musk, per the report.
[...]
On Tuesday, the CEO tested out the feature and posted a “forced to drink milk” meme in which “Elon’s tweets” were forcibly fed to “Twitter.” By the time of publication, the milk meme tweet had nearly 125 million views and 1.2 million likes.

This whole episode is so symbolic... it's not that the algorithm is broken, it's just that the majority of people don't give AF about Republican haranguing. Social media isn't censoring their views, it is simply giving ppl what they want.

It couldn't be more evident than a tweet force-fed 'engineered' to the entire Twitter population that didn't even crack the top 50 tweets of all time.

Autopilot workers at the Buffalo Gigafactory 2 facility went public with a campaign to form a union on Feb. 14. But by the next day, the workers found that their account had been shadowbanned—meaning it doesn’t appear in Twitter’s search function if you type out either the account’s handle or display name. Elon Musk serves as the CEO at both Tesla and Twitter, and he is named in the NLRB charge.

Dude was trolling Musk. When "everyone can do anything they want" Musk asks for advice don't suggest implementing rivals company products.
As Musk once told Kanye when he posted antisimetic shyt on twitter, "fukk around and find out" (after Musk was alright with Neo Nazis)
