    “He bought the company, made a point of showcasing what he believed was broken and manipulated under previous management, then turns around and manipulates the platform to force engagement on all users to hear only his voice. I think we’re past the point of believing that he actually wants what’s best for everyone here.”

    He’s such a petulant baby. That anyone takes him seriously boggles my mind.

    that's another way to make the platform lose relevance... imagine if HN tried to always keep PG essays on the top of the feed

    This is just a rewrite of a previously posted claim?

    If he truly got 80 people to work through the night for something so trivial, this shows what is really wrong with capitalism combined with a situation of immense surplus. It is actually sick. Twitter is one of the worst things to happen to the internet.

    > Elon Musk reportedly got fewer views than Joe Biden, so he changed Twitter algorithm

    Musk has been pretty boring since he bought Twitter. It's like he's dropped the visionary narrative and he's just some burnt out guy.
