As thousands of Twitter users reported problems attempting to access the social media site Saturday, Elon Musk tweeted he is limiting the daily number of tweets users can read.
In an update, he said rate limits would soon increase to 8,000 for verified users, 800 for unverified and 400 for new unverified. About three hours later, he tweeted those numbers were “Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k.”
Well that’ll fix everything!
“Let me just pull some more numbers out my ass!”
It’s turning into P2W
always has been
That $44 billion ain’t gonna turn a profit on itself.
Twitter responded to CNBC’s request for comment with its customary poop emoji.
I never would have believed there was an actual path to this being a factual sentence one year ago.
this timeline has its ups and downs, to be certain
Man, when you put it like that …. it just boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
We certainly are living in interesting times.
How can one person do so much damage to a company in such a short amount of time? It’s incredible.
I’d say the more incredible part is how Twitter is still going, and how people are still actively there, in spite of the rolling dumpster fire that’s been happening for literally months now.
Agreed. I’m impressed people still use twitter this many months after he bought it.
The power of moneeey.
Musk is thinking of himself as the genius who creates value even when the whole system is breaking down, due to his own actions. Good for the Internet, go on Musk. Remember to bring
u/spezwith you.What a humongous chode.
This is honestly so fucking funny
I can’t wait until he starts trying to single-handedly provide 100% of Twitter’s content, too. Probably by mid-week.
He really does just love to YOLO those changes doesn’t he 😆
I heard he didn’t renew the contract for Google server hosting and Twitter can’t handle the traffic now.
I’ve seen proof that embedded tweets have no concept of rate limiting, and are DDOSing twitter servers just by trying to load content.
He’s really speedrunning twitter to death.
Good. Die before it can interfere with the upcoming election.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but all this time something about the big forehead he has makes me think he’d look perfect in a clown make up.
