Elon Musk has fired an engineer because engagement on his tweets have fallen since he took over the company last year.
Published Feb 9th, 2023 6:00PM ESTThe chaos at Twitter continues, and the latest story is really weird., Elon Musk recently fired a top engineer at the company. Why? Apparently, the firing occurred because the new owner’s tweets weren’t as popular as they were when Musk bought Twitter last year.
“This is ridiculous,” he said, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the meeting. “I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions.” . 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.
The report also found out what happened when Twitter went through a number of issues earlier this week. At one point, tens of thousands of users found they were unable to tweet. Apparently, someone deleted the service that manages rate limits, causing the issue.
