In early March 2023, Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced that he would be making some of Twitter's source code — the actual programming that runs the social media service — 'open source.' Why though?
, so there is no way that they will be able to successfully maintain it without constantly breaking it in the process.
Whenever photos stop loading in your timeline or some API service breaks and everyone starts getting mystery errors, inevitably Musk will come out and explain that they made a change to an unrelated system without realizing that it would have consequences throughout the entire system.
The open-source community is very good at working on diffuse projects in a piecemeal, but collective, fashion, and for working with code written by tens, if not hundreds of thousands of independent developers doing their own thing. With a hundred thousand or even a million software developers looking over Twitter's source code, Musk is banking on the hope that those open-source developers can see what he and the remaining Twitter developers cannot. And he's not off-base here.
