The move comes as the European Commission has decided to extend a data retention order sent to X last year, linked to the platform’s algorithms and the dissemination of illegal content.
Some users have previously complained that they see fewer posts from accounts they follow. In October, Musk acknowledged a “significant bug” in X’s “For You” algorithm and said a fix was being implemented.
X has also been increasing the use of artificial intelligence in its recommendation systems, including integration with Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok.
Meanwhile, Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI announced it has completed a $20 billion funding round, with investors including Nvidia, Valor Equity Partners and the Qatar Investment Authority. Other participants include StepStone Group, Fidelity Management & Research, MGX, Baron Capital Group and Cisco Systems’ investment arm.
The company did not disclose individual investment amounts or the split between debt and equity. Reports said xAI had planned to raise about $7.5 billion in equity and up to $12.5 billion in debt through a special purpose vehicle to purchase Nvidia processors, which would then be leased over five years to allow investors to recover their capital.
