Will probe if Elon Musk's tweets were boosted: German regulator

German media regulator BLM on Friday said it will investigate whether Twitter had given its CEO Elon Musk's tweets unjustified prominence. BLM's decision comes after a media report alleged Musk's tweets were manipulated to appear more often on Twitter feeds. US-based technology blog Platformer reported Musk had even threatened to fire his engineers, if they did not tweak the algorithm.
