He said it is "not actually wrong" as the algorithm is "keying off" users' interactions with said accounts. 

Why It's Important: Musk earlier took to Twitter to clarify a user's question about the microblogging site "actively promoting" more right-wing content to their timeline. 

He said people on the right should see more "left-wing" stuff and vice versa. 

Many Twitter users, including Grammy-nominated songwriter Rob Graves, expressed their displeasure about how the new Twitter algorithm functions. 

Since Musk acquired Twitter, the site has been surrounded by many controversies and not-so-popular updates
