Elon Musk said Saturday that social media platform X will open to the public its new algorithm, including all code for organic and ad recommendations, in seven days.
“This will be repeated every 4 weeks with comprehensive dev notes to help you understand what has changed,” he said in his X post.
Earlier this week, the European Commission decided to extend a detention order sent to X last year, which was related to algorithms and the spread of illegal content, extending it until the end of 2026, spokesman Thomas Regnier told reporters on Thursday.
In July 2025, Paris prosecutors investigated the social media platform for suspected algorithmic bias and fraudulent data extraction, which Musk’s X called a “politically motivated criminal investigation” that threatens users’ freedom of expression.
Last month, the European Union fined X 120 million euros ($140 million), with regulators saying the company breached its transparency obligations under the bloc’s digital services law. The fine is related to X’s “blue checkmark” subscription, lack of transparency related to its ad inventory, and failure to provide researchers with access to the platform’s public data.
Musk responded with an obscenity during a speech by the European Commission about the fine.
