Since buying Twitter for $44 billion, billionaire Elon Musk has advocated for the social networking platform as a “collective super-intelligence” which could be humanity’s hope against the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).

Musk has backed this statement by pointing out that Twitter consists of billions of bidirectional interactions per day so it can very much be considered a hive mind with “a lot of room for improvement”.

Now in a fresh statement, Musk said that Twitter as a “collective mind” needs more signal and less noise.

The Twitter CEO took to his official microblogging platform on Tuesday to share his thoughts with over 136 million followers on his account.

“The collective mind that is this platform needs more signal & less noise,” Musk tweeted.

With his fresh tweet, Musk hinted on new features, updates and changes coming to the microblogging platform, and within minutes of tweeting this, the CEO also announced that verified Twitter accounts will now be prioritised.

“Verified accounts are now prioritized,” the 51-year-old tweeted.

Meanwhile, Twitter last week removed the blue check mark from accounts that have not subscribed to the microblogging’s $8 monthly service. However, the blue tick mysteriously returned for many high-profile accounts with a huge number of followers. This move has left some prominent Twitter users to disavow Musk’s erratic changes to the social media site.
Previously, the blue tick on Twitter was given once the social networking platform had verified that users were who they said they were. This method was used to prevent impersonation and the spread of misinformation on the platform.

But under Musk’s rule, anyone can buy a Twitter Blue subscription starting at $8 a month. It no longer means the user is verified — other than confirming a phone number — but promises a number of features including the ability to have more people see their tweets.
