X algorithm is holding back small accounts - and it’s creating a huge problem. Right now, a post only gets pushed to the For You feed if it quickly racks up likes and comments. The platform basically decides “this post is interesting” only after it already proves it’s interesting. But here’s the paradox: If you have just a few dozen followers, even your best content has almost zero chance of generating that initial engagement. No matter how good the post is, it stays invisible to everyone else. The result? Thousands of low-quality, AI-generated replies flooding every big tweet just so creators can get some visibility. It’s spammy, annoying, and bad for the platform. What if we borrowed TikTok’s smart approach? Even accounts with 0 followers get their post shown to a small potential audience (100–300 people). If it performs well, the algorithm scales it: 300 → 1K → 10K → 100K+ impressions. Purely based on how good the content actually is. Small creators could finally focus on making great posts instead of spamming or gaming the system. A genuinely strong tweet could grow an account from 0 to several thousand followers in days - not months. Everyone wins: - X gets way more high-quality content and motivated creators - Users will stop wasting time on shady growth tactics, stop chasing follower counts, and focus on the quality of their content. The platform becomes fairer, cleaner, and actually fun again @elonmusk @nikitabier

@BasedSamParker I don’t work directly on the algorithm, but for what it’s worth: Nothing matters more to me than smaller posters and niche interests getting visibility. This is why we launched Custom Timelines and have more coming.

@nikitabier Bring back X Pro for Premium subscription users

Ladies and gentlemen, today we're launching one of our biggest changes to 𝕏 Introducing Custom Timelines This feature allows you to pin a specific topic to your home tab. With support for over 75 topics, you can dive deep into your favorite niche on X. It's powered by Grok's understanding of every post with the algorithm's personalization—meaning every timeline is made just for you. And it works even better when it's a topic you already engage with. This was a huge undertaking across many months, so we're excited for you take it for a spin. We're giving early access to Premium subscribers on iOS (and Android coming very soon).

NEWS: SpaceXAI and Cursor are working together to create coding and knowledge work models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for their work together.

SpaceX now has the right to acquire Cursor

@shiri_shh Hey @Grok, how much of Apple's profit was reinvested into the company's development, and how much was spent on share buybacks under Steve Jobs versus under Tim Cook?

END OF AN ERA AT APPLE Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO on Sept 1. bro turned a $350B company into a $4 TRILLION monster. Hardware chief John Ternus is replacing him, the engineer who actually built the iPhones.

@Sajwani @instagram It's just that 𝕏 algorithms work "a little better" than Instagram's 😀

@instagram Why are you announcing it on 𝕏 😂

Now you can see and control your Instagram algorithm from your Explore page to see more of the topics you’re into 🔎 (Available to English-speaking users in most countries.)

@Teslaconomics Elon Jobs 😀

Apple needs an Elon Musk to bring it back to anywhere near the Steve Jobs days

Apple just named John Ternus as its new CEO, effective September 1. Tim Cook will step into the role of Executive Chairman. End of an era, beginning of the next chapter at Cupertino. 🍎

@XFreeze When will the replacement for X Pro finally be released - the one that @nikitabier brazenly took away from premium users and promised would soon be replaced with ‘something better’?

Try Grok 4.3 beta.... it's available for all Premium+ and SuperGrok users Grok now has access to cool new tools, live data, and environments to help you with your day-to-day tasks so you can get real work done You can now natively create PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and much more directly within Grok There are lot more exciting features that are coming soon to Grok that will integrate with your day-to-day life and help you with everything

@teslaownersSV Ah, so that’s where Elon came up with the password "munkiballz1" 🤣🤣

“My son lil X loves clinging precariously to my back & yelling ‘monkey rides!’ 😂” — Elon Musk

@techdevnotes Is it really that important? Grok still relies on fresh data using search anyway

Grok 4.3 has December 2025 knowledge cutoff

@glennbeck @elonmusk @rebeccaperrotto 4) Death Note x.com/elonmusk/statu…

At 15 years old, Liv Perrotto’s biggest dream was to meet @elonmusk. She had even written out a list of questions to ask him. Her mother @rebeccaperrotto told me that just days before she passed away from cancer, she had a chance to speak with Elon, but she was too tired and asked him to call later. The questions still sit on her nightstand, unanswered. Liv's mother shared them with me in hopes that Elon would change that today. 1) Are you going to make your own phone? 2) Are you expanding the Tesla Diner to new areas? 3) Will there be any new games with any upcoming Tesla updates? 4) What is your favorite anime? 5) Have you ever been to Japan? What was your favorite place/thing there? 6) Do you know who Hatsune Miku is? 7) Was Ani inspired from Misa from Death Note? 8) Can you make Asteroid (the Shiba Inu zero-g indicator she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission) the mascot for SpaceX?

WHERE ARE THE BITCOIN SERVERS LOCATED

Grok Build and Grok CLI are planned to be released next week. A new Grok Code model too? 👀
