It's because President Biden's Super Bowl tweet got more views than Elon Musk's Super Bowl tweet.

You can't make this up 🤣

80 people!

80 people were tasked with building an algorithm to maximize Elon Musk's reach!

And it resulted in an unusable Twitter experience!

@atomicpoet My heart goes out to those 80 people. It is straight abuse.

@kevinpotts @atomicpoet Self inflicted at this point. Too hard a fanboi to speak out, get fired like so many others.
