The news has clearly ruffled some feathers at Twitter. According to a Friday court filing, the social media company is demanding that GitHub singles out the individual responsible for leaking the code.
But given the fact that Musk has repeatedly promised — and failed — to make Twitter "open source," that rage seems puzzling. More than a month ago, for instance, Musk promised the algorithm would be "made open source next week," though he never made good on that commitment. After his takeover late last year, Musk also fired the company's entire team dedicated to making the company's algorithms more transparent.

To be accurate, what Musk vowed was, "to make its algorithms “open-source” to promote transparency and free speech". He never "repeatedly promised to make Twitter 'open source'".
At to what the code that was posted on GitHub is ... is it internal source-code that was never going to be released or is it some of the algorithms that Musk said he's release ... No clue.
