Pagination links appear, but new posts never load

    In my front-page.php I’m looping over a custom post-type and I want to add pagination. The pagination links appear, but when I click its like nothing has changed. Same data appear even though URL has changed. Not sure what is wrong.
    This is part of what I added when I registered the new post-type

    'label' => 'Tweet',
		'public' => true,
		'has_archive' => true,
		'taxonomies' => array( 'category' ),
		'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'tweet', 'with_front' => true ),
		'supports' => array( 'title', 'thumbnail', 'editor', 'author' )
    $paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? absint( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) : 1;

$args = array(
    'post_type' => array( 'post', 'tweet' ),
	'posts_per_page' => 4,
	'orderby'=> 'menu_order',
	'paged' => $paged
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">

	<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

		<div class="page-header">
			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
			<?php if(get_post_type() === 'post') : ?>
				<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
			<?php else: ?>
				<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
			<?php endif; ?>
		</div>

	<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

	<?php
		$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer

		echo paginate_links( array(
			'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
			'format' => '?paged=%#%',
			'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
			'total' => $the_query->max_num_pages
		) );
	?>

</div>

    So I have to specify on WordPress settings that the front-page is my posts page and now it’s half working. I can only see 2 out of 4 pages. It shows in the pagination 4 pages, but 3-4 are empty.
    Any reason this is like that?

    For now this solved it. Have no idea why.

    function include_post_type( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_front_page() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'tweet' ) );
		return;
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'include_post_type' );
