    The fun thing with Musk is it’s now impossible to determine whether he’s lying, doing something stupid, or simply inaccurately reporting something someone who actually knows what they’re talking about told him.

    This isn’t how you handle automated processes scraping you, you handle that by restricting things that human beings can’t do. Preventing literally every user from seeing a reasonable amount of content is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. And it’s an ad-supported service. If nobody’s able to view content, they’re also not viewing ads.

    With this move, he has truly achieved fractal wrongness.

      He could have just shut up and he would have continued to be seen as the cool rocket and electric car guy. But no. He’s and idiot that too self absorbed with the hot air that comes out of his mouth to know when not to speak.

    Twitter is broke. Look at all the other twch companies going bust without their owners actively sabotaging them. Elon can’t afford to pay his cloud bill. I bet Elon has no liquidity and can’t afford to put out the dumpster fire he started.
