Elon Musk clarified that Twitter users will still see accounts they follow in their For You feeds after backlash over his plan to only show paid subscribers there

• Elon Musk said Monday that only verified Twitter accounts will appear in users' For You feeds starting April 15.

• On Tuesday, he backtracked and said accounts that users follow will also stay in the feed.

• The change followed uproar from users over the initial announcement.

Elon Musk is backtracking on proposed changes to Twitter users' feeds after facing backlash over his initial idea.

On Monday, he said only verified accounts will appear in users' For You recommendations feed and be allowed to vote in polls starting April 15. Because Twitter will do away with legacy check marks on April 1, which belong to users who were verified under Twitter's previous system and did not pay to be verified, this meant the For You feed would start to only recommend paying Twitter Blue subscribers.

Musk started rolling out Twitter Blue shortly after buying the social media platform in October. The subscription allows any user to buy verification for $8 per month.

"The is the only realistic way to address advanced AI bot swarms taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle," Musk said Monday.
