Musk has had many loves, including electric vehicles, large rockets, and internet meme.
He may have no greater and more longstanding love for the service than he has for it, as he has used it as a megaphone to grow his personal brand, issue proclamations and predictions about the future, and occasionally nurse feuds with a staggeringly broad selection of other famous people.
It appears that Musk has turned his attention to the social networking site. In a series of messages on the platform, the CEO complained about the site's algorithm and said it wasn't fair.
He wrote that the algorithm needs to be open source.
That wasn't the only thing. Soon afterwards, Musk expressed amusement at a meme making fun of coders, and then, perhaps in a fit of self-doubt, he changed his initial anti-Twitter statement to "I don't like it."
His focus on the social networking site is striking. It's difficult to argue with the critique that social media companies have a lot of control over public discourse, but compared to a service like Facebook, it's relatively painless. The setting is difficult to set up, but it still offers a reverse chronological feed.
Musk is irate at the way the algorithm is being used. Musk is one of the site's most popular users, and his poll complaining about its algorithm received more votes than any other.
