Mark Cuban says Twitter’s new algorithms are designed to help one man only: Elon Musk

Mark Cuban has accused Elon Musk of rigging Twitter's algorithms to promote his own tweets and points of view. Cuban claims that the site's algorithm highly ranks tweets that followers interact with, which is convenient for Musk as he is the most followed person on Twitter. The added click necessary to take users to a feed showing only tweets from accounts they personally follow will keep most users on the "For You" timeline, making the most followed Twitter accounts more influential. This is just one in a string of complaints Cuban has made against Twitter, including losing 800-1,000 followers each day despite paying for its subscriber program.

Mark Cuban says Elon Musk’s Twitter plan goes deeper than anyone realizes

Mark Cuban believes that Elon Musk's plans for Twitter go beyond protecting free speech and disrupting the financial services industry. Instead, Cuban thinks that Musk is focused on developing his own version of ChatGPT after his public break with OpenAI, which he co-founded in 2015. Through large data sets generated by millions of Twitter users every day, a GPT can learn over time to improve its natural language response data. However, experts have warned about the risks of A.I. chatbots being weaponized to become agents of misinformation and manipulate voter behavior in elections. Despite this, Musk has declined to explain his vision for TruthGPT publicly but promised a launch event soon.

In November, GroupM designated Twitter as high risk due to concerns about harmful content on the platform. However, one person familiar with the matter said that while there was still work to be done, there had been material improvements since then.
