"Twitter's Algorithm and Source Code Now Publicly Available, Including Elon Musk's Controversial Contribution"

Twitter has publicly posted the code for its "For You" recommendation algorithm on GitHub after parts of it were leaked online. CEO Elon Musk acknowledged that the initial release of the code will have mistakes, but users will be able to identify and fix them. The code only shows how and why certain content is recommended on the "For You" page, but not on other parts of the app. One section of the algorithm notes if Elon Musk is the author of the tweet, possibly explaining why he's so prevalent in recommendations.
