What makes you think he wants to "build a community" or attract outside contributors?
Elon spotted the rot and bias within Twitter. From day 1 he's been exposing and expunging it. Same with the recommendation algorithm. This is about transparency and trust. It's not a traditional OSS play.
- SpikeDad 4y agoHahahahahahahahahahahaha. He's an evil megalomaniac. His every action has only one goal - attempting to demonstrate he's the most brilliant person on Earth. Psst. He's not succeeding.
- lillecarl 4y agoIs this how people who don't follow Elon got notifications about his tweets?
- starkd 4y agoExactly right. It is about transparency. After exposing all the censorship games in the Twitter Files releases, he knows he needs to gain trust in the product. A better idea of how the feeds are generated would go a long way. The only way he can turn it into an open source project is if he rewrites the entire project. He has hinted at possibly doing this, since the code is very fragile and breaks whenever they try to add features. It would be great if he could turn the whole enterprise into a non-profit like wikileaks, but that is probably too optimistic.
