Elon Musk said Saturday that social media platform X will open its new algorithm, including all code for organic and advertising post recommendations, to the public in seven days.
“This will repeat every 4 weeks, with full developer notes, to help you understand what changed,” he said in his X post.
Earlier this week, the European Commission decided to extend a retention order sent to X last year, related to algorithms and dissemination 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 alleged algorithmic bias and fraudulent data mining, what Musk’s X called a “politically motivated criminal investigation” that threatens the freedom of expression of its users.
Last month, the European Union imposed a fine of 120 million euros ($140 million) on X, and regulators said the company violated 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 repository, and researchers’ lack of access to the platform’s public data.
Musk responded with an obscenity in a European Commission post about the fine.
