A baseball coach’s post on the “worst feature” he encounters while using X received an interesting reply from Elon Musk.
Xan Barksdale, a basketball coach and former professional catcher, took to X to ask Elon Musk a question. In his post, he shared that despite loving the microblogging platform, there is one feature on X that he thinks is the “worst.” His post went viral and gained attention from many, including Elon Musk. The tech billionaire replied to the post, confirming that the company is working towards fixing the issue mentioned by Barksdale.
“Hey Elon Musk, I love Twitter, but the worst feature by far is that every time I open the app I see a tweet that looks interesting then the feed refreshes and I can’t ever find it again. I can’t be the only person this happens to, right!?”Barksdale wrote.
