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.

Since Elon announced he was joining the board of Twitter on April 5th, Tesla had lost 72% of its market value. Arguably the worst acquisition of all time.
Twitter rules are now Calvinball, dictated by responses to far right influencers.

Twitter, the home of free speech.*

*except posting links to other sites, posting public information about jet flight data, posting public info about company addresses, writing critically of Elon.

Pay attention to all the people who were outraged about so-called "censorship" now go completely silent or even celebrate about several major high profile reporters being suspended for no reason. It was never about free speech, only about power.
Just watched @esqueer on the @mattbinder she was great!

@lexi @esqueer This is the whole reason why there is no "free speech" unless we protect the voices of the marginalized.

We call minority groups "minorities" despite them representing the demographic majority; because they are a social minority and their voice is suppressed by small, elite groups of people who hold the majority of social power and influence.

When enabled by the likes of Elon Musk, you can see how they maintain their superiority, through violence, threats, harassment, and hate.

‘Opening the gates of hell’: Musk says he will revive banned accounts

A Twitter poll posted by Elon Musk shows 72 percent support granting “general amnesty” to accounts suspended for harassment, abuse and misinformation.

The Washington Post
"Just a day after Tim Pool blamed the victims of the Club Q shooting by having a "grooming event," Elon Musk is palling around with Tim Pool. ELON is implicitly endorsing the calls for violence against LGBTQ people." - Alejandra Caraballo (@[email protected] and @esqueer )

The Club Q shooter has declared that they are non-binary in their court documentation.

Being non-binary does not exempt you from murder, nor does it mean your actions were not motivated by hate of the queer community.
