+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 Twitter’s 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 Twitter’s 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 people’s tweets, if they’re emphasized or de-emphasized, that action should be made apparent so anyone can see that action has been taken. So, there’s 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 can’t stop thinking about [Mastodon][7]. You can also find us on [Mastodon][8], if you haven’t 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 Musk’s future actions for Twitter either, even if he manages to acquire it. Honestly, he’s just as unpredictable as any complex algorithm.
+
