A couple of days ago, several Twitter users reported that that their feed was filled with tweets from Elon Musk. Some insiders reported that Musk orchestrated the whole thing and it was not accidental or happened due to a flaw in the algorithm. However, Musk is now irked with an employee who revealed his secrets to a news website Platformer. He further said that Twitter will take action against the employees for spreading fake news about him.The Platformer reported that Musk became frustrated with the performance of his tweets on Twitter, which resulted in him pressurising the platform’s engineers to work on a solution to promote his tweets to the platform’s user base. In a bid to address Musk’s complaints, Twitter deployed code to promote Musk’s tweets artificially, the employee told the website.
Reacting to the claims made by the Platformer, Musk said, “The ‘source’ of the bogus Platformer article is a disgruntled employee who had been on paid time off for months, had already accepted a job at Google and felt the need to poison the well on the way out. Twitter will be taking legal action against him.” He, however, did not reveal the name of the employee who tried to malign his image.
