Social media platform X will open its new algorithm to the public in seven days, Elon Musk said on Saturday, including the code used to decide what posts and advertisements are recommended to users.

The billionaire didn’t say why X was making its algorithm open source. He and the company have clashed several times with regulators over content being shown to users.
