Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey argue about Twitter's algorithm (Mashable)

Potential future Twitter CEO Elon Musk and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey had a brief argument on the site about the best way to read it.

Again, in fairness to Musk, he didnโ€™t say the algorithm was intended to manipulate, just that it happens. Among them was a call for Twitter users to change their feeds from the algorithmically sorted "home" version to "latest," where tweets are shown in reverse chronological order. A math equation that only shows you what it thinks you want to see will, over time, make it harder to accept other sources of information.

Elon Musk says Twitter told him he violated his NDA (Business Insider)

Elon Musk told Twitter users they are "being manipulated" by its algorithm after reviewing its process to check for fake accounts.

But Musk said on Friday that his $44 billion takeover is "temporarily on hold" while he awaits clarity about the number of spam accounts. Revealing Twitter's sample size appears to have landed Musk in hot water as he said on Saturday that sharing this information meant he had "violated" his non-disclosure agreement, Twitter's legal team had told him. In a tweet on Saturday, Musk said his team would run its own random sample of 100 Twitter accounts, revealing on Twitter that he chose 100 random accounts to gauge the number of spam accounts as "that is what Twitter uses to calculate <5% fake/spam/duplicate" accounts.
