Chirping It ran with problems during this Wednesday afternoon. Several users were unable to tweet from the mobile phone app, both Android and iOS.
Many have reported that trying to update the feed “for you”, i.e. the one that now arrives by default and which shows a selection made by an algorithm (and not chronological), the message was displayed “tweets are not uploading at this time.” Others directly recorded trouble tweeting.
User reports began to grow on Down Detector, the site that records these falls, at 17:00 Argentine time.
In web browsers, from a laptop or desktop pc, it worked fine.
Last week, users received a message that the maximum number of tweets that can be sent per day had been reached, which was a bug after a new internal update to the app.
On the other hand, this Tuesday, Musk changed a feature so that their tweets are seen more than the rest of the usersas reported by the specialized newsletter Platformer.
In the last week, he fired one of the platform’s top engineers, because he informed him that his popularity was on the wane in your social network.
The “you’re fired” happened live and direct, during a meeting Elon Musk called with his engineering team on Tuesday. The issue to address was addressing the number of views of his tweets, in a deep downward spiral in recent months, which, for the owner, it was absolutely impossible.
Beyond these two cases, since Musk took over as CEO of Twitter, the platform has presented multiple problems due to the changes it is implementing.
Musk will leave Twitter in a year
Meanwhile, Musk assured this Wednesday that he hopes to find a new executive director of that social network by the end of this year. Last December he announced that he would be stepping down from his post on his own when someone replaces it.
“I guess towards the end of this year probably will be a good time to find someone else to run the company,” he said in a video call that took place on the last day of the world summit of governments in Dubai.
During the more than 30 minutes he conducted the conversation, he said he needed to “stabilize the organization” and make sure Twitter was in a “healthy financial situation” as well as that “the product roadmap is clearly outlined.”
Last December, Musk, who is the sole owner of Twitter, said he will step down as CEO when he finds a replacement, after which he will only manage the “software” team and server management.
Since Musk acquired Twitter last year and announced changes to the social network, several United Nations officials have expressed fears that the new direction could weaken the fight against fake news and hate speech.
In the final part of his speech at the Dubai event, he referred to artificial intelligence: “It is something that we have to worry about a lot. ChatGPT has shown people how advanced Artificial Intelligence is”.
Meanwhile, Twitter experiences a new problem every week.
