Elon Musk says Twitter is making adjustments after social network floods feed with only Tesla chief's tweets

On Valentine's Day, Twitter users received a special gift on the micro-blogging platform as for some, the 'For You' section was filled with tweets and replies by the company's CEO, Elon Musk.

It was on Tuesday that many Twitter users started noticing something different with their 'Tweets For You' section which usually shows posts based on recommendations of accounts that you follow or the topics of your interest.

However, the glitch with Twitter started showing posts by Musk even to those who do not follow him on the social network. This incident has occurred only a few days after the Tesla chief complained about his tweets not reaching enough people and not getting enough views on the micro-blogging platform.


Musk even fired an engineer over the matter.

The glitch even caught Musk's attention, who reacted in the most 'Memelord Musk' manner with a hilarious picture.
The billionaire later assured Twitter users that Twitter was making adjustments to fix the algorithm.
The work on the new Twitter problem is ongoing as the micro-blogging platform recently completed several pending work.

On Monday, Musk informed everyone that Twitter team has wrapped up several works ' overnight' including improving the reach of retweets and the social network has also removed filters causing false negatives.

Musk tweeted: "More work team completed over night."

"Removed height penalty affecting tweets with pics/video, increased # of recommended tweets, better tracking of dropped tweets, removed filter causing false negatives, removed penalty if user follows author, improved reach of retweet," he added.

Musk on Sunday said that the engineers resolved two significant problems on the micro-blogging platform during a "long day at Twitter HQ" with him.

He said that the 'Fanout service for Following feed' was getting overloaded when "I tweeted, resulting in up to 95 per cent of my tweets not getting delivered at all".
Moreover, he said that the recommendation algorithm was using absolute block count, rather than percentile block count, "causing accounts with many followers to be dumped, even if blocks were only 0.1 per cent of followers".

Musk also said that oversized fonts and undersized paragraph spacing will be fixed this week.
