I think a big factor is what tweet's page you are looking at.

When I went to a Paul Graham tweet a couple days ago, what their algorithm gave me was full of right wing conspiracy theories, climate change denial, anti-vaccine stuff, one about Bill Gates' plan to depopulate the world, Jewish bankers control the world, and that kind of stuff.

The next tweet I went too was a John Carmack tweet. The algorithm recommended a tweet from Joe Biden, a Greta Thunberg tweet, a tweet about the Formosan clouded leopard being declared extinct in 2014 after no sightings for 40 years but then was spotted in 2019, an Edward Snowdon tweet, a tweet from the National Park Service, various humor tweets, a tweet about a lecture on how to build GPT from scratch, and a couple about business acquisition. There were right wing tweets from Glenn Beck and Scott Adams included, but they were not really political. There was also an Andrew Tate tweet that was just an inspirational statement (something along the lines of the man without a vision for the future will be stuck in the past).
