This only applies to one pinned post every ~48 hours to prevent gaming of the system.
In a post, Musk revealed that soon, users would be able to have a pinned post visible to all their followers. However, Musk emphasized that this feature comes with a limitation to maintain fairness and prevent exploitation of the system. Users will be allowed one pinned post every 48 hours, ensuring a balance in content visibility.
One of Musk's followers expressed optimism about the new feature, noting that when combined with X articles, it could significantly boost the visibility of high-quality content.
This move is expected to be particularly impactful for content creators, especially writers, who strive to showcase their efforts to a broader audience. As the announcement garnered attention, it became clear that this development could potentially transform how users engage with and promote their content on the platform.
Amidst this positive news, Musk continued to use his platform to criticize Google. He asserted that the tech giant is "super biased," countering Google CEO Sundar Pichai's claim of political neutrality. Pichai had recently acknowledged issues with Google's Gemini AI, particularly problematic responses related to race. Musk's ongoing critique highlights the intensifying discussions around bias and neutrality in artificial intelligence, with Google taking steps, such as suspending its Gemini AI image creation feature, to address these concerns.
