Elon Musk and his antics have been dominating the headlines for a while now, and his latest scandal involving the Twitter viewing limit caused quite a stir. In his statements, Musk hinted that Twitter users would have to navigate certain restrictions while using the platform, suggesting a new feature. However, the truth is far from that. It turns out that the issue on Twitter is not about limitations but rather “unpaid bills.” Here are the details regarding this matter…
Did the cash run out? The reason behind Twitter’s crash revealed!
Yesterday, Twitter was in turmoil, to say the least. Many users couldn’t log into Twitter, and those who managed to do so were greeted with a bizarre viewing limitation. Later, users who followed Elon Musk’s statements believed that they encountered a new restriction. According to this new limitation, users could only view 600 tweets per day. If you exceeded the 600 limit, you would only be able to see the same tweets until the following day
As a result of the backlash, the limitation was later increased to 800 tweets. Furthermore, those who wanted the limitation to be lifted were encouraged to subscribe to the Twitter Blue package. However, the reality of the situation was completely different. Elon Musk may have seen the crisis as an opportunity to leverage it to his advantage. The limitation issue was nothing more than users bearing the consequences of Musk’s unpaid bills.
According to Bloomberg’s report, it has been revealed that Twitter failed to pay Google Cloud’s “service” fee. This fee is similar to an electricity bill issued by Google. Due to Musk’s failure to pay the bills on time, Google imposed an access restriction on the Twitter application. Elon Musk claimed that this was a new feature, but it is unknown whether he intended to exploit the crisis or simply wanted to cover up his shortcomings.
As a result, regular Twitter users could only view 600 pieces of content per day. Once the limit was reached, users would see the same tweets again for the remainder of the day. To see new tweets again, they would have to wait for 24 hours to pass. In essence, users were limited to seeing only 600 tweets per day. However, the issue was not a new feature but rather unpaid debts to Google Cloud services.
There is only one question that troubles minds regarding the absurd and ridiculous incident: Was this a strategy, an attempt to cover up the embarrassment, or was it a test conducted on users regarding whether or not to introduce such a feature in the future?
