Elon Musk, Twitter CEO, responded- "The intent is not for the algorithm to be some judgy moral arbiter, but rather that it do its best to inform & entertain."

Jack Dorsey has called this move by Twitter CEO as a "Great Step".

Musk also updated that Twitter will be updating its recommendation algorithm based on user suggestions every 24 to 48 hours.

The objective of open-sourcing Twitter Algorithm is trying to maximize unregretted user-minutes.

Code being open source since 31st March means the community can submit its own code for consideration and use the algorithm in other projects.
