Ansa Live at 8 (ANSA)

Elon Musk reiterates: open source for Twitter is the way forward to solve the problem of trust and effectiveness. In a series of tweets, Tesla boss warns Twitter users of the possibility of being “manipulated by the current algorithm”. “I’m not suggesting that there is malice but that trying to figure out what you want to read inadvertently manipulates or amplifies your point of view without you realizing it,” Musk explains.

Meanwhile, Musk was informed by Twitter lawyers that he violated a confidentiality agreement for tweeting about the social network’s fake accounts. The entrepreneur himself made it known in a tweet. “Twitter’s legal department just called to complain that I violated their nondisclosure agreement by revealing that the sample size of the check on fake accounts is 100! It really happened,” Tesla boss wrote from his account. . Two days ago Musk temporarily suspended the $ 44 billion maxi-acquisition of the social network, pending verification of the real numbers of spam and fake profiles.
