What To Know

We are planning to make some adjustments to our algorithm to favor the showing of more informative and entertaining content. We will provide details on the upcoming changes to the X Engineering account on Twitter.

Far too often, users are going through behaviors driven by technology that actually increase their overall time expenditure, but not in a way that leaves them feeling fulfilled afterwards.

We're also working on making it simple for you to customize your content feed as needed, so you can have the information you want available to you at any time.

But he's also a wealthy individual who can afford to carelessly manipulate people's lives—treating them, countries, and values like insignificant chess pieces on a game board.

What Happens Next

It's unclear at this time what kind of impact the algorithm change announced by Musk will have.
