Expect bumps with X Money rollout as major US financial markets are excluded.

The Elon Musk-owned xAI is suing a South Carolina man who allegedly used the company's Grok AI chatbot to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

X's head of product, Nikita Bier, admitted in a post on Monday that X's algorithm was "missing" data about surfacing posts from people who you've followed back.

Hey — I'm a working engineer running a side hustle in tech writing and e-commerce. Here's the bottom line upfront: by the time you finish this article, you'll have a Python script that extracts "side-hustle promo noise" from your X (Twitter) timeline and auto-adds it to a mute list , plus a Claude Haiku classifier that labels each tweet as signal or noise for roughly ¥0.02 per tweet — copy-paste ready, just swap in your API keys. My own information-gathering time dropped from 90 minutes to 12 minutes a day (7-day average; details below). Why Manual Muting Breaks Down on X: The 30-Item Wall Muting on X via the GUI is one entry at a time. In my case, roughly 70% of the 480 accounts I follow are genuinely useful — but 30% are promotional, making them "almost good" accounts. Muting at the account level kills the useful tweets too. So I turned to keyword muting, which becomes unmanageable past 30–40 keywords manually. Add "free," "limited time," "LINE sign-up," and "#RT please" to the list and you start catching legitimate tech tweets as collateral damage. One failure story: early on I added "side hustle" as a mute keyword, missed an entire high-quality thread squarely in my interest zone, missed the viral wave, and conservatively lost about ¥3,000 in affiliate opportunity. Word filters don't have the precision. That's the starting point for this article. Extracting "Promo Templates" Mechanically with Tweepy and Filter Rules First, using the X API v2 (read access is available even on the free tier) and Tweepy, I pull tweets equivalent to my home timeline and numerically score structural features common in promotional content. The trick is to score on three axes — emoji density, URL count, and call-to-action verbs — rather than keyword matching. import re import tweepy cl
