Twitter's Rate-Limiting Chaos: Musk's Twitter Circus Leaves Users Weary

Twitter experienced a weekend of chaos after owner and CTO Elon Musk imposed rate limits on tweet views to address data scraping and system manipulation. Initially, unverified users were limited to 600 posts per day, while verified accounts could view 6,000 tweets. Musk later increased the limits to 10,000 for verified users, but it remains unclear if these changes were implemented. Twitter's recent problems, including unpaid bills to AWS and Google Cloud, have been attributed to the greed of AI companies. Additionally, Twitter's front-end coding may be causing DDoS-like conditions, leading to failed requests and chaos on the platform.
