As for how views are counted, it seems to count every time a tweet is shown on someone's screen, even if it's the author's screen..

“Every time someone sees your tweet, it counts as a view, no matter where they see it (e.g. homepage, search, profiles, tweets embedded in articles, etc.). ) and whether they follow you. Even an author's view of their own tweet is considered a view,” Twitter said..

They also added that if you first view a tweet on desktop and then on mobile, it counts as two views..

The new owner of the social network, Elon Musk, hinted at the appearance of this feature on December 1. He said he wants to make Twitter posts look like videos that have a view counter.

Musk also said earlier that he is looking for a new CEO of the company..
