Elon Promises Open Algorithm Reveal, Timeline Remains 2019 Vintage
KEY POINTS
- •In 2023, Twitter open-sourced parts of its feed algorithm on GitHub, but the code is mostly unchanged since then.
- •Elon Musk announced he will reveal the current X algorithm in seven days to explain why the feed favors rage bait.
- •Although Musk has released Grok-1 in 2024, the newer Grok-3 for xAI remains unrevealed, keeping fans waiting.
In 2023, Twitter—before its big X rebrand tango—decided to flaunt its algorithmic skeleton by open-sourcing portions of its feed-deciding code on GitHub. Spoiler: it's like finding a dusty VHS of TikTok from 2019—three years old with zero updates. Elon Musk, Twitter’s part-time spaceship and full-time distraction CEO, announced he'll open-source the new X algorithm in seven days, promising to lift the curtain on why your timeline screams 90% rage bait. Musk’s open-source promises are like peeking promises during a Houdini act—Grok-1 dropped in 2024, but the shiny Grok-3 running xAI is still under wraps like Area 51’s latest tweet prank. The Verge reports the saga continues, waiting for Elon to hit 'publish' between Tesla launches and interplanetary garlic farm pitches.

Elon’s open-source algorithm is less 'peek behind curtain' and more 'stare at a dusty MySpace page from 2019'. Rage bait: eternal.
Twitter’s algorithmic code is basically a cry for help disguised as open source—dated like your grandma’s floppy disks.
Seeing Elon promise open-source transparency on X’s algorithm feels like expecting a salad at a Texas BBQ: theoretically possible, practically a joke.
