I have noticed a large difference in the past couple of days in my timeline. Every time I load the page there are 4 Elon tweets in the top 100 (with Elon being the top entry every single time). There are also an increasing number of ads in my timeline, every 4-5 tweets has an ad.

I finally had to mute Elon with the terrible memes and too many tweets in the feed. I could have sworn I did this a couple of months ago, so I'm surprised I had to do it again.

His tweet around "absolute block versus percent block" made sense to me, but even so every single time I load twitter his tweets are at the top of my page, it's too much and I wouldn't be surprised if he does have a factor enabled due the changes I have seen recently.

I don't think I ever followed him and recently started getting his tweet spam. Suddenly I was definitely following him! Unfollowed immediately...
I block every ad I see, seems to make the rest of them go away.
