Vitalik Buterin has expressed support for Elon Musk's plan to open source the X algorithm, stating that if executed properly, it could be a positive move. Buterin emphasized the importance of verifiable and replicable processes, suggesting a four-week delay in tweet releases and anonymous like data to address concerns about algorithm transparency. However, he cautioned that the four-week cycle might be overly ambitious and recommended a one-year delay to prevent manipulation. Buterin also stressed the need for users to be able to run code to verify shadow bans or de-ranking. Previously, Musk announced that the complete code for the new X algorithm, including the logic for recommending organic and ad posts, would be open-sourced within seven days, with updates every four weeks accompanied by developer notes.
