How to Use Elon Musk's Open-Sourced X Algorithm to Go Viral and Make Money

The X Algorithm Is Now Open Source

Elon Musk has open-sourced the latest X (formerly Twitter) algorithm that powers the "For You" feed. The code is publicly available on GitHub: [github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm](https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm)

But reading raw code isn't useful for most creators. Here's how to turn it into a personalized growth playbook in seconds.

The Prompt That Does the Work for You

Paste this into ChatGPT along with the repo link:

> "As I am a Twitter/X content creator, create for me a todo list of what I can do to enhance my content, so I can make money and create viral tweets based on this GitHub repo."

Make it even better by adding your personal context first:

> "I am a software engineer who creates content about AI and tech on X. My goals are to grow my audience, generate leads, and monetize my content."
