So the only thing you can confidently say based on this information is: it's 100% certain the entire codebase of Twitter will not be going open source.

Let's add it to the list of lies:

• musk is a "free speech absolutist"
• FSD next year!
• E2EE chats in Xitter

Keep it going!

You mean like last time when the whole world found out he added special privileges depending if the poster was Democrat, Republican or Elon Musk?

An open source piece of shit is still a piece of shit

That's a pretty cool thing to do. But it's disingenuous how he goes "don't trust anything that isn't open source" after having operated multiple businesses based on closed-source software for years. Wonder if he will also open up the code for Teslas...

I'm pretty sure only the frontend will release but no server code will be released.

No thanks, you can keep it.

If it's not a lie, it's not worth it anyway, we have better things now. I do love the boot lickers who want to help him though.

The uber-rich are jumping onto the opensource bandwagon due to the hype. Just wait. They don't understand a thing about the philosophy but "free". Free labor, free publicity, and a better public image for free.

So people will be able to fork it and add ActivityPub integration? :D

Yeah Elon no matter what you do, the geek/nerd crowd (that you imagine yourself to be a part of) will always hate you. You are stuck with toxic tech bros and racist pedophiles (including your daddy) for life. Enjoy.

Didn't he already do this early 20's and then never update it past the original commit? Or was that only the algorithm.

I guess he wants free labor to work on it?

Funny if it’s the frontend style framework only. Presuming it’s not “twitter bootstrap” anymore 🤣

Melon Susk can go fuck himself with a cactus

no musk, i do not want to see how your sausage is made

I'll believe it when the whole stack is actually published.
