This. You can tell that this is precisely how Elon fucked it. And this limiting code turned out to have the self-DDOS in it.

600 posts/day. That's like, STOP READING TWITTER AT ALL

@davidgerard I find it hilarious and an indication of how involved the CEO is - he's using `posts` instead of `tweets`.

That may be small potatoes to most people, but it's a significant indicator - CEO can't even be bothered to ensure everyone is on the same page. (and spare me the "but it's a startup/fast-changing/whatever environment" apologism, this is management 101).

Unless of course, Twitter has pivoted to use "Posts" consistently in their outward communications.

FWIW Musk isn't the CEO anymore; Linda Yaccarino is as of June 5.

@funcrunch @GuyWithLag yes, he's only the CEO in function now and not in title
