You picked the most extreme example of any account. I'd bet Elon gets a lot of hate-follows. They won't like his tweets. You can see many real people replying to his tweets, so you…

The algo gets on my nerves sometimes. I don't need to see tweets from Jordan Peterson just because someone I follow, follows Peterson. I like using saved searches to find stuff tha…
