Do you know what’s really, really funny? Elon Musk’s Twitter meltdown! Yep, it turns out that our favorite billionaire can’t handle that his tweets aren’t getting as much love as President Biden’s. So, what does he do? He throws a hissy fit, of course!

According to reports, Musk had his engineers set up a “special system” to boost his tweets after a post about the Super Bowl got fewer views than Biden’s. To make matters worse, Twitface even fired an engineer who tried to explain why his tweet views were down. He then threatened to fire the rest of the team if they didn’t fix the engagement issue.

No worries, however. The problem was fixed, and now Musk’s tweets are flooding everyone’s feed like a leaky faucet. Twitter engineers even deployed code to automatically “greenlight” all of Musk’s tweets, meaning his tweets will bypass Twitter’s filters.

But here’s the best part: Musk posted a meme indicating he was aware that his tweets were being forced into people’s feeds.

“Please stay tuned while we make adjustments to the uh .… ‘algorithm.”

And how many views did it get, you ask? 148.9 million! That’s right; the man throwing a tantrum about not getting enough views got 148.9 MILLION views!

Geeks talk back
