The news comes as Musk has often vowed to open source Twitter’s recommendation algorithms. He also recently indicated that premium Twitter Blue customers will soon be able to have their tweets shown in the algorithmic “For You” stream. It’s unclear if that adjustment would also impact the VIP list of users who get a feed increase on a regular basis. Several of the accounts on the list are presently verified but do not pay for Twitter Blue, such as President Joseph Biden and YouTuber Mr Beast. Twitter no longer has a communications staff to handle inquiries.
