It's been a really suspect timeline of Russia's invasion of Ukraine being met with global backing of Ukraine largely on Twitter, Musk's meeting with Putin, Musk's buyout of Twitter, and subsequent evisceration of the site.

Elon will probably change these numbers after he sees the bounce rate…. Problem is you can’t get around the bots scraping for information.

Sometimes the real DDOS are the companies we buy along the way
I think he's just that much of an attention whore, creating drama where it doesn't exist.
It's not cunning or malice. It's hubris and incompetence.
Or at least that's what he'll claim as it comes crashing down around him
More like incredibly amusing.
And this is bad why?
Arab spring
If they kill the best communication tools, the masses have a harder time revolting.
Well that makes the assumption of no new service rises to replace twitter, which given development and spreading of Internet is pretty bad bet.
All this leads to is momentary disruption until people settle on the new replacement, whatever that ends up being.
All this does is caused sacking of twitter employees and Musk burning a pile of money. Oh and politics wonks and journalists have to change their congregation behavior to new place.
As a non Twitter user... reading 300/600 tweets a day seems like more than plenty. I mean the times I've poke around I see what maybe 60 or so tweets then move on to browsing another platform.
And me not knowing any better this somewhat seems to make sense if you have bots that are scraping all the data for intelligence to use for advertising or AI development etc.
Shouldn't those bots have to pay since they are making money off data and let the individual users keep a free account?
