Musk said that the ‘Fanout service for Following feed’ was getting overloaded, resulting in up to 95 per cent of his tweets not getting delivered.

“Following is now pulling from search (aka Earlybird). When Fanout crashed, it would also destroy anyone else’s tweets in queue,” Musk tweeted.
He elaborated on another issue that the recommendation algorithm was using absolute block count, rather than percentile block count.
The microblogging site will fix paragraph spacing and font issues.
In addition, Musk said, “Advertising also needs to be semantic keyword-based, so it is contextually relevant. Ads shown when doing Twitter searches do not consider the search words! We are changing that as fast as possible.”
Musk then shared a list of targets set to revamp the platform.
