Gromit, you know very well the liberal elite pushed him, and anyone else they disagree with off the platform. I seem to recall them(the liberal elite) saying that they could code their own platform. Well perhaps these luvvies need to do that.
If you bother to listen to Elons TED talk you may realise he nis simply wanting to open it for all opinions and it not to be just a propaganda machine for the right-on left. He also intends to make the algorithm open source. Why could anyone possibly object to that - unless they re about to be found out?

That would be a grave error. Making the code available means that people can manipulate it to serve their agendas. In short, they can play the system to make sure their subjects are top of the trending tweets.
I believe it was Trump who said he would come back with his own social media site. He did, and it was a flop.

TTT,
I am very tech savvy. I realise you are a coder, but you appear very out dated, dismissing machine learning and AI out of hand.
// Enabling anyone to see the site's code is "a bit senseless," said Vladimir Filkov, a computer science professor at the University of California, Davis, because very few people can understand how Twitter's code base works to produce what they see on their screens.
"Open sourcing something by definition means you can see the code, but it doesn't mean you can understand the policies or influence the policies that lead to that code," said Filkov, who develops tools to help developers run more effective open-source software projects.
That said, those who can understand it would be able to figure out how Twitter decides which tweets to show users, said Ariel Procaccia, a computer science professor at Harvard University whose studies include artificial intelligence and economics.
"In those circumstances, the company had better make sure their algorithms are fair, as it would surely be held accountable if they weren't," //

Just need to stop at University of California.
Open Source is fine, no it doesnt mean you can change it but it does mean the company cant have hidden agendas. Which Twitter currently has.

I think what confuses many people who consider themselves to be IT experts but have no programming skills whatsoever are terms like 'learning'. Machines dont learn in the sense most people think of it. Yes they can acquire data and algorithms are getting quicker at reading that data processing it and updating it but as I said above its not real learning like humans and his still very slow compared to us.
AI will come but at present its far from what the movies or some people with vested interests portray.

Twitters algorithms undoubtedly used machine learning to scrape, update and deliver trending results.
500 million tweets are sent everyday. A human cannot process that much information.
An algorithm is basically a set of rules that help a computer system arrive at a result. When enough results are know, the system can start to predict future results, and then compare them to the actual data when that data arrives.
The Twitter algorithms are currently proprietary. That leads to suspicions that they are biased, or can be programmed to ignore certain posts.
But if the rules are in the public domain, that means companies can work around the rules, and the resulted trends have been played or manipulated.
I do not know in this instance whether proprietary or open source is the correct course.
People make the mistake in thinking that social media is a free resource and should be fully transparent. In reality it is a private company and it exists to make money, and sometimes operational secrets are necessary.
