The popular social media platform X has been banned in Brazil. The reason for this ban is that X has been accused of spreading fake news and threatening democracy. Amidst this, Elon Musk shared a post on X explaining how the platform’s algorithm works.
How Does X Work?
According to Musk, X can identify the interests of social media users and then shows posts related to those topics. These algorithms can easily understand what users like in most areas and show posts accordingly. However, sometimes the system may show users posts that they do not like.

In his post, Elon Musk mentioned that the X platform’s algorithm assumes that if you interact with a topic, you want to see more of that topic. However, if the real reason you shared content with your friends is that you are angry about it, the current algorithms may not understand this.
