Elon Musk appeared to offer a $1 million bounty to help find the source of "botnets" on Twitter, which are allegedly targeting reputation scores. A user identified a negative feedback loop in Twitter's algorithm that hurts accounts if blocked. Musk plans to increase the amplification of tweets from verified accounts, in a bid to boost subscriptions to Twitter Blue and revenues. Twitter also released coding information that showed how it recommended tweets to followers on the For You feed.
