What a sad, fragile little man.

Attending the Super Bowl as a guest of Rupert Murdoch, Musk had one of the most luxurious seats in the house, but rather than watching the game, he was glued to his phone in dismay. Both on the Philadelphia Eagles, but even though t had far fewer followers than Musk on the platform, the president's tweet garnered 29 million views to Musk's 8.4 million.
Livid, Musk demanded that his engineers find out why his tweet was underperforming Biden's. He left the game early to fly back to his San Francisco office, where dozens of employees were summoned to meet him on a Sunday night.
Eventually, to placate their boss, the engineers tweaked Twitter's algorithm to boost Musk's posts, pushing them into users' feeds whether they follow him or not. "In effect, Musk's tweets would have higher priority over any other post," write Conger and Mac, technology reporters for The New York Times.
