Elon had no clue how "algorithm" works but promised to open-source it. In order to not look like a bellend he open-sourced whatever just to claim "see, I did it!".

No shit, sherlock. What’s not common is asking engineers to work on an “open source” repo which can only be used by a single, for-profit company.

I don’t care? I never optimised anywhere - on Twitter, LinkedIn, my blog, newsletter - for how a supposed algorithm works. I’m sure growth hackers are delighted and rubbing their hands how to generate meaningless but viral content, but I could not care less about growth hacking.

Amidst all the excitement around Twitter open sourcing its “algorithm,” one bit is easy to miss: they licensed it as AGPL. That means anyone else who uses it will have to open source their code too, …

There is a difference between open source and “make public”
