There has been an odd bug that has affected a number users on Twitter. While one typically can see tweets from the accounts they follow, it appears that tweets from Elon Musk have universally been reaching everyone even if they don’t follow him.

Now, the CEO of Tesla and the microblogging website has stated that the company is working on fixing this issue. Typically, one would see tweets that are listed in chronological order. However, those that follow Elon have been seeing his tweets more often in their “For You” segment, while people that don’t even follow the billionaire are also being spammed by his tweets. In response to this, Musk stated that “please stay tuned while we make adjustments to the uh… ‘algorithm.'”

In other words, this basically confirmed that the issue was real and Twitter is at least planning on fixing this weird bug. Although, Elon Musk might just be the one behind this change since this issue surfaced after he had previously mentioned that his engagement was dropping on the platform. He was also rumored to have fired an engineer over this issue.

Musk has also tweeted that a fix is currently in the worlds after a “long day at Twitter HQ with eng team.” Based on what he said before, around 95 percent of his tweets weren’t getting delivered to the Following feed due to an issue called “Fanout.” He further added that the Recommendation algorithm wasn’t working properly and was causing “causing accounts with many followers to be dumped.”
