Mary Trump reacts to Elon Musk’s request for more positive content on X
@XEng.Our goal is to maximize unregretted user-seconds. Too much negativity is being pushed that technically grows user time, but not unregretted user time.Musk seems to have realized that unmoderated political content, trolls and sh*t-posting are driving users to other platforms.
Or at the very least, they’re regretting opening up X.Of course, despite his own call for “entertaining” content, Musk has continued to relentlessly post attacks on the British government.
He also supports the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in that country’s forthcoming elections. In the last 48 hours, Musk has echoed President-Elect Trump in blasting California authorities over their response to wildfires sweeping the Los Angeles district.Musk’s own demonization of those on the left is perhaps one reason why billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban offered a pithy response to the X’s owner’s initial request for more positive content.
Cuban simply suggested “You first” to Musk.You first https://t.co/UsITZmObRqYesterday evening, Mary Trump, Donald’s queer niece, responded to Musk’s call for more positivity.“In the spirit of the new Twitter algorithm which is promoting positive content, I’m positive Elon Musk is a f*cking a**hole,” she said.It’s unknown whether X’s algorithm has been changed yet, but either way, Mary’s tweet has had over 33k likes at the time of writing.
