ELON MUSK JUST CHANGED THE GAME AGAIN
In 7 days, X will open-source its entire new recommendation algorithm — the full code that determines what every user sees.
That means everything becomes public:
• how posts go viral
• how ads are targeted
• how content is boosted or buried
• how the For You feed decides what to recommend
And it won’t stop there.
Every 4 weeks, X will re-release the updated algorithm with detailed engineering notes explaining every modification.
No Big Tech platform has ever gone this far.
Not Meta.
Not TikTok.
Not Google.
Not YouTube.
For developers, researchers, policymakers, and creators, this is a tectonic shift.
No more guesswork.
No more theories.
No more shadow algorithms.
You’ll be able to read the system line-by-line.
Love Musk or hate him, this is the most radical transparency move in social media history.
The code drops January 17, 2026.
Be ready.
