Mark Cuban Asks the Tough Questions About X—Elon Musk’s Explosive Reply!

@elonmusk
Can you post the expected algorithm source code, before you implement them ?
So users can give feedback ?

Musk vs. Cuban: A Tech Titan Showdown

Mark Cuban recently challenged Elon Musk to release X’s algorithm source code for public feedback, sparking a fresh round of online sparring between the billionaires, reports Business Insider via MSN. Cuban suggested that Musk should share details on how X determines factors like reputation and relevance, allowing users to provide input. Musk, however, maintains that X’s algorithm is already open-source, hinting that Cuban’s frequent interactions with certain accounts influence the content he sees.

Algorithm Feud Continues

This isn’t the first time Cuban has questioned Musk’s handling of X’s algorithm. Earlier in August, Cuban speculated that Musk might be tweaking the platform’s algorithm to align with his personal preferences, though he provided no concrete evidence. Musk responded by criticising Cuban’s engagement with “right-wing” accounts, suggesting that X’s algorithm merely reflects his interactions.

A War of Words

The exchange escalated when Musk insulted Cuban in a subsequent post, calling him “a giant turd in human form.” Cuban, known for his quick wit, responded with a series of heart hands emojis. This public spat underscores the ongoing tension between the two tech moguls, with Cuban questioning why Musk is the only social media CEO to engage in such personal attacks.
