      Hard to tell at this point, this is extrapolated speculation and shouldn’t be taken as statements of fact.

      Musk has a policy of fucking around with other people’s money and not paying his debts. That works with companies smaller than him, but when Google is hosting a significant amount of Twitter infrastructure they can absolutely pull the plug.

      Twitter is suddenly unable to function at the current volume of traffic. They limit access to only logged in users. They fired all their competent engineers so they import a hack job that seems to be CONSTANTLY checking if users are logged in. So much that the website is DDOSing itself from the attempts.

      Elon, ever the moronic silver spoon man baby, puts in a nonsense policy of “tiered access” where you can only see a certain amount of tweets per day? Advertisers are obviously pissed off because that’s directly cutting their reach and access.
