Yes, but there isn’t on X either, that’s a conspiracy you’ve made up because you dislike Elon Musk. The Algo simply picks the top n items you are most likely to interact with.

No. Many other public figures have raised their hands this way on video. You’re probably aware of this but choose to perpetuate the lie anyway.

In addition your own article regarding debugging the reach issue doesn’t support your conspiracy theory about Musk boosting tweets for his own ego.
