Thousands of Twitter users report problems accessing site as Elon Musk says new limits have been installed - Lemmy.world

As thousands of Twitter users reported problems attempting to access the social media site Saturday, Elon Musk tweeted he is limiting the daily number of tweets users can read.

In an update, he said rate limits would soon increase to 8,000 for verified users, 800 for unverified and 400 for new unverified. About three hours later, he tweeted those numbers were “Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k.”

Well that’ll fix everything!

It’s turning into P2W
How can one person do so much damage to a company in such a short amount of time? It’s incredible.
The power of moneeey.
I'd say the more incredible part is how Twitter is still going, and how people are still actively there, in spite of the rolling dumpster fire that's been happening for literally months now.
Agreed. I’m impressed people still use twitter this many months after he bought it.
He's really speedrunning twitter to death.
Good. Die before it can interfere with the upcoming election.
I don't know if it's just me, but all this time something about the big forehead he has makes me think he'd look perfect in a clown make up.
I can't wait until he starts trying to single-handedly provide 100% of Twitter's content, too. Probably by mid-week.
He really does just love to YOLO those changes doesn't he 😆
I heard he didn't renew the contract for Google server hosting and Twitter can't handle the traffic now.
