It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

      When all this crap started, my guess was that he is some sort of captured asset that’s using his position to sabotage the platform to hinder free speech. Initially, he was so strongly targeting any anti-trump/anti-republican assets that it seemed blatantly obvious, but my money is on Russia or China. China being the more obvious option, given they supply a lot of Tesla’s materials.

      That’s all conjecture of course, he could just be an insane despot cutting his nose off to spite his face like Steve Huffman.

      Seems to be utilizing the Trump business model, where the check is perpetually in the mail.

      Someone owes some Russian & Middle Eastern Oligarchs a lot of money for his Twitter buying fiasco. Same as Trump did for his fiascos. The business model is just them doing what they were told to do.

        Lol, what?

        He is one of the richest oligarchs in the world, its people like him that the whole system caters to.

        Nobody is controlling him, he can do whatever the fuck he wants and he just happens to want a lot of dumb shit.

          It’s not like he just wrote a check. He took out loans and got other investors to sign on to fund the Twitter purchase. Even someone as wealthy as him has to answer to others.

        “Russia controlls our oligarchs”

        Is something that I would have preferred if it stayed on reddit
