What about governments forcing Twitter (and all other platforms) to censor?
I didn't think you would answer that question.

Twitter just reached a new record for time spent on it, by registered users.

All the detractors are "worried" Twitter will die, while Elon seems to be worried about how to keep it running with record demand on the servers.

I'm sure when PayPal was bought by Musk and friends, people were saying, "Who would use something so stupid?"

Boring tunnels? Avoiding traffic? You are an idiot.

Turns out it was an attempt to keep the site up.

cnnHours after users began reporting the problems, billionaire owner Elon Musk tweeted that the site had applied temporary limits “to address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation.”
IE normal usage and bumps handled by teams fired long ago.

Pay to read Verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, he tweeted, while unverified accounts are limited to just 600. New unverified accounts are at 300 posts a day.
A penny for every 200 tweets read, capped at 6,000 because you might just straight the little guys servers.
