I think what throws me is that they're still treating these projects like businesses and trying to make money off it. Like just operate it at a loss who cares, you make 2 million dollars a day or whatever, what's 500k a year

https://business.twitter.com/en/blog/update-on-twitters-limited-usage.html
To ensure the authenticity of our user base we must take extreme measures to remove spam and bots from our platform. That’s why we temporarily limited usage so we could detect and eliminate bots and other bad actors that are harming the platform. Any advance notice on these actions would have allowed bad actors to alter their behavior to evade detection.

At a high level, we are working to prevent these accounts from 1) scraping people’s public Twitter data to build AI models and 2) manipulating people and conversation on the platform in various ways.

Currently, the restrictions affect a small percentage of people using the platform, and we will provide an update when the work is complete. As it relates to our customers, effects on advertising have been minimal.

While this work will never be done, we’re all deeply committed to making Twitter a better place for everyone.

At times, even for a brief moment, you must slow down to speed up.

We appreciate your patience.

Ah, yes, the JRPG Villain approach to running a social media company. Musk just forgot about the usual second step to those plans: create a new world/universe afterward.

Elon dont see himself like that. He is the cool billionaire, he is like any of us.

The reason people still hate him and see him like a corporate sociopath is because of the WOKE VIRUS
