ELON JUST CALLED THE EU'S BLUFF - OPEN SOURCING X'S ALGORITHM IN 6 DAYS
@ElonMusk
is making X's entire recommendation algorithm public January 17th. Every line of code showing what posts you see and why.
Then updating it every 4 weeks with developer notes.
This is a direct response to France classifying X as an "organized gang," the same legal designation they use for drug cartels and mafia, so they could wiretap employee phones and demand algorithm access.
The EU wants control over what people see online. They fined X $140 million last month, launched probes into "algorithm abuse," and demanded researchers get data access. France wants "experts" to analyze X's code to "uncover the truth" about the platform.
Elon's response: "You want the algorithm? Here's the algorithm. Everyone gets it."
This is 4D chess. EU regulators wanted private access to modify and control.
Instead they're getting public disclosure they can't manipulate. Every competing platform, every researcher, every government on Earth gets the same code at the same time.
You can't secretly pressure someone to censor when the censorship mechanism is open source.
My prediction: EU loses its mind, threatens more fines.
Elon doesn't care. Other platforms forced to follow or look like they're hiding something.
If that's not a classic Elon, what is?
