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.

This just a ploy to feed Grok.

Also their code isn't valuable. I want to see the algorithms and admins logs and bots.

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

isn't the algorithm part of the code? or is that split off into a separate repo?

this is the idiot that took down twitter when he yeeted racks out of a data center and threw 'em into a u-haul.. ones that were still powered on and used by the site. so anything's possible... but i don't think even he would be so stupid as to release the algorithms or his special 'tweaks' to them.

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, it could be part of the code but you are also correct they can separate it out.

It could be to crowd sourced bug fixes. I'm sure someone will be keen to give daddy musk all the help he needs.
