If you "Log in with Twitter" to any websites, get ready for that to stop working. Maybe the sites will send money to Musk, but maybe they won't. You need a Plan B, right now.
I actually hadn't thought about that aspect of it.
Now I'm glad I never do that.
The login thing is bigger than I thought too.. I was just thinking in terms of mobile games, but apparently Japanese Twitter is in a frenzy and bailing to Mastodon because a bunch of them used Twitter logins for Pixiv(which is basically THE Japanese art site), which not only may break access but there's fears their accounts may be deleted... and on top of that a bunch of Japanese users are seemingly getting banned out of the blue with no reason they can see, from what I'm hearing.

And the prices... yeah, no non-corp is gonna be paying those:

And more ads for everyone!

Elon Musk Wants to Charge Businesses on Twitter $1,000 per Month to Retain Verified Check-Marks
Elon Musk wants companies and brands on Twitter to fork over $1,000 per month to get verified check-marks on his social network.

And now he's backpedaling on the API stuff because he realized how many people use it just for the hourly funny cat photo accounts, and is talking about a free write-only API specifically for those kind of accounts.
At every turn we receive more evidence that he doesn't know what he's doing. Just throwing things out and frantically backpedaling when people who aren't his 'yes men' scream about what a bad idea it is.
If anyone really needed a fearless sidekick to tell him he's a dumbass, it's this guy.

The people who most need to be told they're dumbasses, are also the people most likely to refuse the statement. If you're so narcissistic and obtuse that you never have the thought "Is it me? Am I the problem here?" then you won't believe it when other people say it to you.
And you can literally see his eyes lose their focus when he says it.
He's spent his life buying away the consequences of his actions, he's not gonna stop now.
ANd now they apparently accidentally turned on a daily limit on how many tweets you can send. Bet this was intended for the new bot API and got applied to everyone(or they're going to make you pay for a check mark to send unlimited tweets per day if I wanted to be more cynical)
I mean, I can think of some people who would benefit both themselves and their followers by only being allowed to tweet a few times a day...
(and that's not counting the even larger number of people who would do themselves and the world an even bigger favor by reducing that number to zero)

So... is it going to die soon? Cause the world really is better off without it...
If these rumors are correct, it may not be much longer(assuming Musk doesn't backpedal like a Tour de France gif run in reverse):
Again, rumors, but it's something I could see Musk doing to try to push more Blue.

I suppose those draconian rules will speed up the inevitable collapse of Twitter into irrelevance and obscurity, so…
Well now we know why the rate limit thing happened:
Also rumors of a FTC audit this quarter, which could also finish the job of tanking it via fines.
(Headline is kinda useless. The real meat of it is further in, including the stuff I mentioned above)

But I guess those employees weren't necessary, right?
