Oh, so twitter is DEAD dead
By intention, no less.

I don’t LIKE this happening but it is amazing HOW it is
It's totally not "temporary". He has said that so he can backtrack when twitter blows up. Which it has. Or it was doing, before I dooms rolled through my 600 read tweets limit watching people call him names.
Now I just get the "rate limited" message. 🙄
These are the most plausible suggestions I’ve seen as to what’s actually going on

Apparently it was their google cloud contract ended at midnight. He’s such a fuckwit.
How is he doing an even worse job than we all thought he would? Our expectations were SO LOW.

Perfection. The softness. In its eyes.
I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.
ALTIT GETS WORSE!
"This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour."
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
