Elon Musk has said that Twitter's algorithm will be made open source next week.

This was in response to his tweet where he said: Say what you want about me, but I acquired the world’s largest non-profit for $44B lol

On Feb 8, Twitter allowed for 4,000-character long tweets for subscribers of Twitter Blue.

This is part of the longstanding changes mentioned by Elon.

Among them, in January, Twitter begun applying for regulatory licenses across the US and designing the software required to introduce payments across the social media platform, per FT.

The integration of payments aligns with comments previously made by Musk – including a desire to offer fintech services such as peer-to-peer transactions, savings accounts and debit cards – as part of a broader plan to create an “everything app” that incorporates messaging, payments and commerce.

Leading the Twitter team focused on creating the architecture needed to facilitate payments is Ester Crawford.

The company is also moving forward with regulatory checks needed before launching a payment service, the report said. In November, Twitter registered with the US Treasury as a payments processor, according to a regulatory filing.
