I honestly can't tell if this is an April Fool's joke or not. We had anecdotal evidence they were tweaking the algorithm based on if Musk felt enough people liked him...err were interacting with his posts. He has his own fields in the metrics calculations though? Wow. That is even more narcissistic than I took him for, which is saying a lot. #BillionairesShouldNotExist #ElonMusk #twitter

A friend who is very offline asked me to simply explain what Elon is doing with twitter that has people upset.
i said, "He's trying to win hearts and minds, by saying, 'Love me, you bitch!"
