"Elon Musk's tweets under Twitter's algorithmic scrutiny"

Twitter has released the source code for its recommendation algorithm, which shows that it specifically tracks how Elon Musk's tweets are performing. The code includes metrics for users broken up into four different groups: "power_user," "republican," "democrat," and "elon." Musk claims he did not know about the metric tracking portion of the algorithm, but has previously admitted that Twitter was reviewing his account's analytics. Twitter explained that the metric tracking code was first developed into the algorithm years ago under the old Twitter regime, but Musk said Twitter would remove it.
