Musk says X to move toward open source after security review, disclos…

Elon Musk announced X will open-source its entire codebase after completing a security review, with plans for third-party verification that live code matches published code. The move addresses long-standing criticism of X's algorithm operating as a black box, though the timeline remains unconfirmed and security risks from full disclosure remain contested. If X actually publishes its full stack, every social platform and content moderator just lost their secrecy moat. You'll be able to see exactly how ranking works and what rules get enforced—which means you can now build tools that work with or against any platform's logic, and sell those tools to creators and advertisers who currently have no transparency.
