This will be the first fully AI driven timeline, and it's especially interesting to be able to “talk to your feed” and tell it to show more of X and less of Y.
To the degree that people are seeing improvements in their feed, it is not due to the actions of specific individuals changing heuristics, but rather increasing use of Grok and other AI tools. We will post the updated algorithm, including model weights, later this week. You

If you’d listened to your mom, we never would’ve met on X, and we wouldn’t be building together now.
My mom used to warn me to be cautious about what I post online, as it could impact my job later. Now I’m yapping about Starship and Starlink with my boss and colleagues.

I’m considering raising for the first time, can this group chat help? After 12 years of bootstrapping and reaching profitability, we now have a playbook that can scale to more platforms.👇 We restructure and enrich social graphs using public data only via enterprise APIs, with

Are you the idiot who removes the em dash (—) from your AI outputs, or the idiot who replaces it with a regular dash (-) after copying it?

We had the pleasure of hosting the X Japan team at our Amsterdam office this week. We spent a few days celebrating recent X Ads success stories, diving into the latest ad tech on X, and mapping out an even stronger year ahead. We work with teams and advertisers worldwide, but

The problem with these fake headlines: my mom just asked me “did you hear Elon is in the Epstein files?” I’m constantly having to correct this shit to friends and family.
I'm not going to link to this piece of 💩 article, but if you are still on the fence about whether to trust lying legacy media... this should do the trick. @elonmusk received an INVITE to Epstein's Island in 2014, but declined. But why let that NONE event get in the way of

This morning on Dutch radio: YouTube admits it censored Americans at the request of the Biden admin, but now says it’s following a "Free Speech" strategy. Then they claimed YouTube is following Meta’s lead, who were the first to pivot to Free Speech earlier this year. NO

I used to hate recruiter cold emails, but now I paste their candidate description into Grok to find the exact candidate so I can reach out directly 😎

As every device turns into an AI node, bandwidth stops being the bottleneck, synchronization does. Starlink D2C’s job isn’t max throughput, it’s persistent connectivity for checkpoints, trust signals, and occasional payloads while creation happens on device. Dedicated spectrum
The next gen @Starlink Direct to Cell system will deliver unparalleled performance with the world’s most advanced satellites, exclusive spectrum, and Starship’s unprecedented payload capacity → https://t.co/Bh5l6DRaay

Super happy that the algo is finally open source again! Transparency in the home timeline is important and unfortunately rare, X is the only major platform doing this. It should be mandatory for large social media to open source the algorithm that decides what millions of
Today, as part of our effort to make our platform transparent, we are open-sourcing the latest code used to recommend posts on the For You timeline. Our algorithm is always a work in progress. We will continue to refine our approach to surface the most relevant content to our

600 million people on X means 7.4 billion still uninformed, or at best late to the news. You’ll see X cross a billion users as more people are getting tired of playing catch-up.

People often say I’m naive, I call it optimistic naivety. Whatever it is, it gives me the dopamine hit I need to take action.
