Elon Musk Believes Twitter Algorithm Should Be Open-Source
======
So, Elon Musk made it to the news again, as usual.
However, this time, it was very interesting. He made an offer to buy Twitter for about **$43 billion.**
Technically, he offered way more than the market price in a bid to acquire Twitter, which is why many outlets have claimed it as an attempt at a “hostile takeover”.
While that may or may not succeed, considering the aggressive offer. At a TED talk, Elon Musk also shared some of his thoughts on how Twitter should move forward to promote free speech.
### Twitter Algorithm Should be Open-Source
Elon Musk believes that Twitter should open-source the algorithm to promote transparency in the platform.
Of course, Twitter as a platform is exploding and unpredictable at the moment. The Twitter team also takes quick actions on certain matters, whether you think it is right or wrong.
While Twitters internal decisions could sound good on paper, there are always issues with such massive platforms without transparency.
So, Elon Musk might have a point here. Whether you believe or trust Twitters decision, transparency/open-source will only help strengthen the existing values.
Well, no wonder, we love open-source here.
To quote his words, he mentions:
> “_And so one of the things that I believe Twitter should do is open-source the algorithm and make any changes to peoples tweets, if theyre emphasized or de-emphasized, that action should be made apparent so anyone can see that action has been taken. So, theres no sort of behind-the-scenes manipulation, either algorithmically or manually_“

On the other side, when we talk about Twitter as an open-source platform in some way, I cant stop thinking about [Mastodon][7]. You can also find us on [Mastodon][8], if you havent explored it yet.
Sure, Twitter has a lot of growth potential and it is constantly expanding for better or worse. But, can the concept of open-source help the platform? Personally, I think yes, but it is too big a change to expect overnight.
Of course, no one can predict Elon Musks future actions for Twitter either, even if he manages to acquire it. Honestly, hes just as unpredictable as any complex algorithm.
_So, what would be your take on this? Do you believe what Elon Musk has to say? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments down below._

埃隆·马斯克认为推特的算法应该开源
======
没错,埃隆·马斯克又搞了一个大新闻,这已经算是他的日常操作了。
然而,这一次的新闻非常有趣。他提出了要以大约 **430 亿美元**收购推特。
从技术上讲,他的报价远远超过了市场价格,这也就是为什么许多媒体称他这是在试图“恶意收购”。
考虑到这个激进的报价,我们还不确定这次收购是否会成功。不过,在一次 TED 演讲中,埃隆·马斯克还分享了他对于推特应该如何推动言论自由的一些想法。
### 推特的算法应该开源
埃隆·马斯克认为,推特应该将算法开源,以促进平台的透明度。
当然,推特作为一个平台,目前仍在爆炸式发展,很难预测。推特团队在某些事情上也会采取果断行动,不管用户认为它是否正确。
虽然推特的内部决定在纸面上看起来很好,但这种没有透明度的大规模平台总是会存在问题的。
因此,埃隆·马斯克有一个观点:无论你是否认同或相信推特的决定,透明/开源只会有助于加强现有的价值观。
嗯,难怪我们喜欢开源。
这里引用他的原话:
> _因此我认为推特应该做的事情之一就是开源它的算法所有推文的修改都应该是透明的任何人都可以看到这个修改哪怕是加粗一段文字或是取消加粗它。这样一来幕后操纵将不复存在无论是算法还是人工。_
另一方面,当我们把推特当作一个某种程度上的开源平台来谈论时,我不由自主地想到了 [Mastodon][7]。你也可以在[Mastodon][8] 上找到我们,如果你还没有用过它的话。
诚然,推特有很大的增长潜力,无论好坏,它都在不断扩张。但是,开源理念能否帮助这个平台?我个人认为可以,但这是一个巨大的变革,不能指望一夜之间就能实现。
当然,即使埃隆·马斯克成功地收购了推特,也没有人能够预测他会对推特做什么。说实话,他就像任何复杂算法一样不可预测。
_那么你是如何看待这个新闻的呢你相信埃隆·马斯克说的话吗欢迎在下面的评论中分享你的想法。_
