    100% chance someone was about to tweet something he absolutely didn’t want tweeted and had to pull the lever to buy the time necessary to eliminate that account.

    Well if this happens then my time on Twitter is done. I’m not on there to get followers. I’m just on there to read.

    Four photos or one video per day limit is definitely going to kill it.

    I mostly enjoy Twitter during events like the Super Bowl and Nba finals when people are live stream of consciousness. This tweet limit would kill that.

    also, this means he’s totally Fd up ADs and is hoping to get more people to blue

    Maybe this will push more people to Post. Some of the folks I follow of there haven't posted anything in a while but are still extremely active on Twitter, which is why I haven't left.

    That's my gut feeling as well, like this is being floated out by him to see how much of a negative reaction. They clearly wouldn't make anywhere near enough money trying to force people to subscribe to a paid service.

    I could see the tweet limits, especially as targeted to super users. 20 seems low

    but the followers one makes no sense. I guess someone like me that just uses it as a news feed doesn’t show up in their metrics?

    shams and woj hit those tweet numbers in the last 5 minutes

    this is clearly targeted at reporters and "power users" in the hopes of making them pay for the service (in which their tweets are what bring elon value, so why are they forced to pay?)
