With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It’s been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

When I first heard all of this I thought it was just a ridiculous rumour. Out of all the things Elon has done this probably surprises me the most. Google is probably one of a handful of entities that he can’t push around.

I’m surprised any other entities let him push them around? What is actually in it for anyone to do anything for this stupid waste of carbon and water?
