Elon Musk Implements Twitter Rate Limits to Combat System Manipulation

Elon Musk has announced temporary limits on the number of posts users can read per day on Twitter due to "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation." Verified accounts will be capped at 10,000 posts per day, while unverified and new accounts will have lower limits. Users have reported issues on the platform, including missing tweets and rate limit exceeded messages. The cause of the data scraping and system manipulation is unclear, but some speculate it may be related to AI chatbots. Twitter imposes rate limits to manage API requests. Jack Dorsey defended the decision, while Musk hinted at a potential MMA fight with Mark Zuckerberg.
