However, Musk’s claims are contradicted by Twitter’s own data, which shows a large increase in impressions on Musk’s tweets, consistent with the reported timeline for Twitter’s algorithm changes. In the days that followed, long after Musk’s tweet confirmed an algorithm problem, daily impressions on Musk’s tweets nearly tripled. This isn’t the first time Twitter’s own data this week has contradicted claims made by Musk or his defense attorneys. On Thursday, Musk fans falsely claimed that a Mashable story regarding Tesla’s unsubscribe from Twitter Blue was incorrect. The community note was later removed from the Mashable tweet linked to the Twitter Blue story.
