Is Elon Musk the greatest visionary or the greatest snake oil salesman of our age?

[teqniq]

Twitter seems to be broken for me. when i click on links to articles i get:

{"errors":[{"message":"Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information","code":467}]}

and when I post tweets to here is seems that others can see then but i get 'Tweet unavailable'

Ok it's not just me. Lots of people are experiencing the same issue with links.

Musk needs to fix his twitter. I can see this being on news at six. With FFS as headline.

 

[magneze]

People need to stop using his Twitter.

Yeah, people at work reporting the same thing.

 

[pesh]

lots of people are trying to mock him on there but their memes wont load

 

[bimble]

Yep, it’s really very broken isn’t it. Just noticed the links thing & thought it was me but no, it’s everyone

 

[bimble]

Haha yes indeed



Can’t wait for my brain chip from this visionary.

 

[teqniq]

People can't load picture or vids either. Total muppet show.

 

[Serene]

It worldwide from what I can see.

 

[Serene]

Every link on Twitter is broken right now

Yahoo reporting on it.

Twitter's last major outage was less than a week ago, just days after the company laid off dozens more employees. Twitter no longer has a communications department that can be contacted for comment. Oddly, enough, its API status page has a message reading "all systems operational."

 

[bimble]

bet all the sacked engineers are having an even better laugh right now than me

This is what happens when the people doing all the dull behind the scenes, keeping the ship afloat stuff are no longer there.

If you worked there recently you'd be inserting bits of code that did creative things after you left.

 

[bimble]

ha my ex-twitter friend is delighted




he says it should be a quick fix but that's in 'a well functioning company'. Long may it continue.

 

[teqniq]

Working again

 

[Serene]

He warned about having to pay for "API access" but we don't use API access..

Looks like Elon thinks people will actually PAY for the privilege to drive FREE traffic to twitter...

He just fucking KILLED twitter if that's the case.

Quoting someone ^^^^^

 

[BigMoaner]

Working again

Gutted.

 

[bimble]

i dont go there much anymore because it seems like at least half the people i followed have left the platform, so its boring now. Thats probably true for quite a lot of users.

It is shit but for people in war zones like Tigray or with a seriously oppressive government like Iran it's one of the best ways to get info out there atm.

 

[Ax^]

is that with a vpn ?

 

[Dogsauce]

Not working at all here.

 

[kabbes]

In retrospect, the question that began this thread seems even sillier than it did at the time.

Is it though? Still?

 

[Dystopiary]

Is it though? Still?

I think so.

 

[Rob Ray]

I'd say Telegram has taken a lot of that function tbh, and it'll tend to accelerate because the team that used to monitor how authoritarian States were fucking with people got canned.

 

[Orang Utan]

I saw this so now you have to too:

[Yossarian]

Musk triumphantly straddling the Twitter bird in a manner that would cause it to crash immediately seems like an apt enough metaphor.
