After a sitting US president tweeting about the biggest national sports event got more views than Elon Musk, the business magnate who bought Twitter instructed engineers to devise a system so all of his tweets would be seen by everyone. I kid you not.

“We are debugging an issue with engagement across the platform,” James Musk wrote on the internal Slack messaging app. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem. This is high urgency. If you are willing to help out please thumbs up this post.”

Musk calls himself a “free speech absolutist” but he demonstrably isn’t. He has unbanned a bunch of toxic characters that Twitter quite rightly banned — including former US president Donald Trump and a slew of right-wing nutters. No sooner had he unbanned white supremacist Nick Fuentes and disgraced rapper Kanye West, than they both tweeted anti-Semitic things and praised Hitler.

The employee added, summing up the prevailing morale at the company: “I think we’re past the point of believing that he actually wants what’s best for everyone here.”said: “This is ridiculous. I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.”
