Elon Musk said on 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 be repeated every 4 weeks, with full developer notes, to help you understand what has changed,” he said in his X post.
Earlier this week, the European Commission decided to extend until the end of 2026 a detention order sent to X last year and which concerned algorithms and the distribution of illegal content, spokesperson Thomas Régnier 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 its users’ freedom of expression.
Last month, the European Union fined X 120 million euros, with regulators saying the company had failed to meet its transparency obligations under the European Union’s Digital Services Act. The fine is linked to X’s “blue check” subscription, the lack of transparency linked to its advertising repository and the inability to provide researchers with access to the platform’s public data.
Musk responded with an obscenity under a message from the European Commission regarding the fine.
