San Francisco. Twitter CEO Elon Musk said on Saturday that the micro-blogging platform will give users the ability to adjust the algorithm in the “coming months”. Musk tweeted, “If many people you follow or like also follow me, the algorithm is very likely to recommend my tweets. It’s not overly sophisticated.”

“In the coming months, we will offer the ability to adjust the algorithm to find what is most compelling to you.”

Many users expressed their views on Musk’s post.

When one user commented, “It’s ridiculous that the Twitter algorithm recommends content from accounts I recommend.”

Musk responded, “The algorithm needs and will get major upgrades. We will still publish it later this month, but please expect to see lots of bugs and silly arguments! Hat Matters is showing users compelling content.” We’re doing better than ever (I think).”

Meanwhile, in a tweet on Friday, Musk said, “Several major media sources misreported that earlier this week my tweets were boosted above normal levels.”

“A review of my tweet likes and views over the past 6 months, especially as a ratio to followers, shows this to be false. We had a bug that briefly gave replies the same prominence as primary tweets, but it’s now fixed. has been fixed.”

To this a user said, “Media has been doing this since ages!”

Musk replied, “True, but, on the plus side, their constant reporting about me on Twitter has driven usage to record levels.”

The Twitter CEO later posted, “A big part of the problem is that journalists used to choose their careers to pursue the truth, but in recent years many have entered journalism to be proactive.”(IANS) )
