Twitter is Going Open Source, with Devs to be Disappointed on Initial Release says Elon Musk

A new age of Twitter is coming soon for the world, as it was recently announced that the social media platform is going to be open source in the coming week, and the news came from its owner, Elon Musk. There was a massive plan to make Twitter open-sourced, but the company focused on other features to arrive first.

It seems like Twitter has already done its initial changes for the platform, with its current venture already leading to the change on its source code for developers to access.

Twitter is Going Open Source Next Week Says Musk

An indie developer, Derek Smart, asked the Twitter CEO to make the company open source, to truly impress himself and other members of the public in his leadership of the platform.

Musk replied to this tweet, claiming that the company would be delivering the much-awaited open-sourcing of its licenses and codes for the world to use.

He further claimed that it would be available starting next week.

The tech CEO also gave a warning that it will be 'disappointing' once its algorithm is made open, especially on its initial release.

However, it would not stay that way as it will improve "rapidly" come the following weeks or months.

Elon Musk's Statement to his Bashers

It all stems from Musk's recent statement to his bashers, where he said that he does not mind all the things said about him, pertaining to those against his antics and actions on the platform.

There was also a massive flex of his Twitter purchase towards the tweet's end, saying that he acquired the "world's largest non-profit" for $44 billion.

Elon Musk and Twitter

The Musk-led Twitter saw significant changes on the platform now, and one of the most iconic is the Twitter Blue subscription which became mandatory for those who want to get the coveted verification. The company already introduced a price hike on the service for mobile platforms, which asks for $11, $3 more than its original $8 price to pay for the app stores' charge.

However, it was not a steady transition for Chief Tweet, as he was met with significant controversies, including its bankruptcy and a lawsuit regarding its failure to pay its rent in different offices.

Many people already boycotted Twitter for its changes and significant revamp of the platform, despite its leader's promise to bring back its former glory.

The current Twitter era recently charged third-party apps a fee to use its codes to develop the apps or platforms for social media, leading to their blocking and departure.

Despite the initial move against third-party devs, Twitter and Mr. Tweet are claiming that the platform would soon go open-source, meaning that its licenses would be open to tweak and use, still unknown as to what it entails.
