Elon Musk explains how X’s algorithm works: “…not smart enough…”

Elon Musk recently shared a post on X (earlier Twitter) to explain how the algorithm on the social media platform works. Algorithms on social media platforms can identify the key areas of interest of a user and try to show them posts on their feed or timeline accordingly. These algorithms are mostly successful in identifying the key areas of interest of individual users, however, there are times when the platform may throw completely unrelated content on the user’s timeline.
