[The Morning After]( Now available on your smart speaker and wherever you get your podcasts [Apple Podcasts]( | [Spotify]( | [Google Podcasts]( It's Thursday, February 16, 2023. If you've been using Twitter's For You feed this week, you might’ve noticed the algorithmic feed showed a lot of Elon Musk's tweets and replies. According to Platformer, which interviewed Twitter employees, engineers tweaked the social network to benefit their CEO. Elon's cousin and Twitter employee James Musk sent an urgent message on the company's Slack on Monday morning. He called the situation "high urgency" and asked everyone who can write code to help. What had happened? President Biden's Super Bowl tweet about rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles got more engagement than Musk's. Apparently, the president's tweet generated almost 29 million impressions, whereas Musk's generated only 9.1 million before he deleted it. The fix they came up with, Platformer says, was code that [artificially boosted]( Musk's tweets by a factor of 1,000. Musk acknowledged the change in his own way, by [posting the "forced to drink milk" meme](. He also asked people to stay tuned while Twitter adjusted the "algorithm." According to the report, Musk's tweets are still artificially boosted, it seems, just not quite as much. – Mat Smith The Morning After isn’t just a[newsletter]( – it’s also a daily podcast.

[[TMA] Engadget]( The original Xbox Elite controller came out way back in 2015, so it's a wonder why Sony took so long to release its take on a premium, customizable gamepad. But now the PlayStation 5 is more widely available (kind of), the $200 DualSense Edge is here. It costs a bit more than its Xbox rival but offers a few nifty features you don't get on Microsoft's controller. However, it’s not perfect: Its short battery life is definitely a downer.
