"SNIP.........

Elon Musk fired a top Twitter engineer because he was upset over the declining number of users that were apparently able to see his tweets, Platformer reports.

Said Musk: “This is ridiculous. I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.”

“Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, they told him, Musk was at ‘peak’ popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of ‘100.’ Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.”

“Musk did not take the news well.”

.......SNIP"

1. I guess the "genius" can't understand that large swaths of those "followers"

don't appreciate him forcing himself on them, and they have been blocking and muting him themselves? The engineers and algorithms aren't what is causing this. Nobody fucking likes you, Eloon. Stop taking it out on your employees, you narcissistic sack of shit.

7. Didn't he already do that at least once?

He is so full of shit. At some point, the Free Market will fire him, when everyone leaves and heads over to Spoutable and other platforms.

6. I still have a twitter account... but I blocked that Musk clown

I'm weaning off of Twitter anyway... there are better sources of daily topics out there and the once-amusing rightwing sloptrough has gotten pretty boring
