Elon Musk claimed something ‘very strange’ is happening to his Twitter feed, fueling conspiracy theories that the company is purposely hiding his tweets from followers, amid Musk’s very public negotiations over purchasing the social media giant.
The concerns were first raised by Musk enthusiast and supporter Steven Mark Ryan on Monday, after he created a poll asking Twitter users whether they could see Musk’s older tweets and replies after a short scroll.
‘Hey @elonmusk, twitter is FKING you,’ Ryan tweeted. ‘Dear everyone, SCROLL down on @elonmusk’s tweets & replies and tell me….. DO THEY STOP LOADING????’
As of Tuesday at noon eastern time, nearly 8,500 people have participated in the survey, with 80percent of that group claiming they have experienced the same issue.
Ryan went on to add that Twitter was neglecting its followers and violating their expectations of transparency, leaving them with ‘no recourse.’
Musk gave a nod to the claims brought up by Ryan by commenting ‘very strange indeed!’ on the thread.
‘Maybe if they do the opposite, Twitter will be a much better experience – just an idea,’ Musk added.
DailyMail.com confirmed that Musk’s tweets older than 11 hours briefly stopped loading for some users, but the glitch went away on its own after repeatedly refreshing the page for around 30 minutes.

The Tesla Boss has been complaining about bots on the platform he said he would purchase for $44billion
The Tesla Boss has been complaining about fake accounts or bots on the Twitter platform and said that this has complicated his bid to purchase the company for $44billion.
Musk claimed he wanted to pause the deal to verify that false or spam accounts represented fewer than 5 percent of the company’s 229 million users during the first quarter.
‘My offer was based on Twitter’s SEC filings being accurate. Yesterday, Twitter’s CEO publicly refused to show proof of <5%. This deal cannot move forward until he does,’ he said.
Musk has speculated that bots could make up at least half of Twitter’s users, more than 10 times the company’s official estimate.
The tweet caused Twitter’s stocks to nosedive since his deal was announced, as analysts speculated that Musk is trying to negotiate a lower purchase price or pull out of the agreement entirely.
The SpaceX CEO is seemingly taking a break from running his businesses to spend time with his new girlfriend, Australian actress Natasha Bassett.
The couple enjoyed a low-key lunch in the billionaires paradise of St Tropez on Monday.
The pair were seen enjoying a meal at the Cheval Blanc hotel, where rooms cost upwards of $1,300-a-night, a drop in the ocean for the world’s richest man.
Musk, 50, and Bassett, 27, sat in full view of the hotel’s pool and bathers.
They sipped on rose, ate French fries and chatted animatedly while waiters fluttered by. The pair then strolled hand-in-hand out of the expensive eatery past other sunseekers on the beach.
Bassett, Musk’s youngest girlfriend yet, was elegant in a $698 Zadig and Voltaire dress, silver sandals and a matching bag. Musk, who was dressed less suitably for the weather, wore a dark grey t-shirt, black jeans and black leather Chelsea boots.
The couple are believed to have started dating in February this year, when they were spotted getting off Musk’s private jet in L.A.

Musk welcomed his second child with ex-girlfriend Grimes in December last year via surrogate. They called quits on their romance two months earlier in September.
Since then, it seems Bassett has been well and truly embraced by the family.
She attended multiple events in Cannes last week where Musk’s model mother Maye was also a guest.
The pair are thought to have attended the premiere of Bassett’s new film, Elvis. She plays one of the singer’s girlfriends in the biopic.
Musk’s previous girlfriends include Amber Heard and British actress Talulah Riley.
Bassett moved to the US from Australia when she was 19. She first worked in New York then traveled to L.A. It’s unclear how she and Musk met.
Musk is a father-of-seven who has been divorced three times – twice from the same woman.
