Multiple algorithms will guide Twitter users on their timelines: Musk

Amid the "doxxing" row with journalists, Elon Musk on Sunday said that Twitter users will soon see multiple algorithms that will guide them about which kind of tweets they would like to see them on their homepage timelines. "There will be multiple algorithms, including no algorithm," Musk told a follower, who asked about implementing a social credit system on Twitter. "Home" -- something that the default Twitter algorithm suggests, where tweets would be recommended based on users' activity; Chronological or latest tweets; and Tweets From people you follow", he posted. Twitter this year tested a feature that shows users custom timelines built by developers that will merge Tweets and other media around specific themes or interests based on content pulled from accounts, hashtags and more.
