It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.
Let it burn.
Can't wait to find out he spent/lost $2B so he wouldn't have to pay Google $1B
Classic Elon playbook. Make wild statement in public to cover for a wild business decision which is the real result. "HAHA oh yea Twitter is down cuz of these limits I put in place, not the fact that one of our core cloud providers shut us off."

The new ceo restarted the payment supposedly, so if it is because of Google, that would mean they didn't renew which isn't on Elon for failing to pay.... unless his petulant refusal to pay when he was in charge made them refuse to renew.
Sometimes, I wonder if Elon is really smart? Or he's just super dumb and lucky? The things he said and did are plain weird. I have a feeling Twitter will be going down along with Reddit. Funny thing is, I've never had a Twitter account to start with.
He was born rich, bought businesses where other people had done all the heavy thinking already and marketed himself well. Like Trump is a poor persons idea of a rich man, Elon is a dumb person's idea of a smart person.
Wow, thats...thats right...
I like the line of thinking there:
Jordan Peterson is the insane person idea of a sane person.
Alex Jones is the grifter person ideia of a stand up bussines person.
Please continue to add.
After these last nine months, it's become brutally and very publicly clear that this dude was lucky to be born rich. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago that the world thought he was a visionary, but oh well, the truth had to come out eventually.

“Could be”
😂
I mean it’s all speculation at this point. The guy isn’t honest and wouldn’t admit he brought down the whole site due to his hubris.

Yeah, seriously. Baseless speculation isn't news, and people here are acting like it's fact because they want their biases to be confirmed.
I'm not a fan of Elon either, but I know tabloid trash when I see it.
Get fucked muskrat
Lmao just how much worse can it get. What a trip Elon

More platform instability could be in Twitter's near future. In 2018, Twitter signed a $1 billion contract with Google to host some of its services on the company's Google Cloud servers.

[Highlighting ends] Twitter is reportedly rushing to move as many services off of Google's infrastructure before the contract expires, but the effort is "running behind schedule," putting some tools, including Smyte, a platform the company [Hyperlink begins] acquired in 2018 [Hyperlink ends] to bolster its moderation capabilities, in danger of going offline.
