The CEO of Twitter Inc. was responding to users of the social network who claimed that making an account private drastically improved the reach of their tweets.
Right-wing commentator Ian Miles Cheong tweeted the results of a test on Tuesday which concluded that a tweet sent when his account went private received many more. “I like” and it was viewed more than the same tweet posted when his account was public.

Musk replied that this was “extremely worrying” and then he undertook to conduct his own experiment.
“I made my account private until tomorrow morning to test if they see my private tweets more than the public ones”he tweeted in the morning.
It’s the latest in a series of experiments Musk has conducted since buying Twitter for $44 billion in late October, which included using a Twitter poll to ask people whether he should stay on as CEO and change the default term to an algorithmic source.
