Attached: 2 images 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...

Attached: 1 image Lest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away. Of course I...

I thought his board at Tesla made him hand this shyt over on the day-to-day to focus on what made his goofy ass a household name in the 1st place.

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. Platformer reports Twitter recently refused to pay the search giant ahead of the contract’s June 30th renewal date. 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 acquired in 2018 to bolster its moderation capabilities, in danger of going offline.

theres lots of moving parts but he needs twitter to earn more and he hasn't been paying twitters google cloud bill. companies are probably scraping twitter and doing so inefficiently because he shut off API access which increases bandwidth data center costs for twitter. he rate-limited the site probably in the hopes of coercing users to subscribe to twitter blue and forcing companies scraping twitter for their A.I datasets to make twitter a large offer to get that data more easily. the twitter data set is very valuable but since musk can't figure out how to leverage that value for himself, he'll sell it to the highest bidders when they make themselves known.
