    Classic Elon playbook. Make wild statement in public to cover for a wild business decision which is the real result. “HAHA oh yea Twitter is down cuz of these limits I put in place, not the fact that one of our core cloud providers shut us off.”

      There was a post earlier today, but the post limit implementation legitimately did take down Twitter.

      In short, twitter ddosed it’s self by making 10 calls to its self every couple of time intervals (a minute or less) which would fail, refresh the UI and kick off even more self requests.
