Elon Musk Proposes Transitioning X to Open Source After Security Review... Full Codebase to Be Published

Elon Musk announced plans to publish the entire codebase of social media platform X as open source following a security review, with third-party verification procedures to ensure consistency between the published code and the live server code. The move is interpreted as a step toward greater transparency in X's content ranking and moderation systems, which have faced criticism for operating as a 'black box.' While X previously shared parts of its 'For You' recommendation algorithm on GitHub, this marks an expansion to the full codebase. Musk also plans to review algorithm changes for public release every four weeks, though the exact timeline for full code disclosure remains undetermined.
