Elon Musk Increases Twitter Rate Limit

by

Elon Musk recently caused another firestorm on Twitter by announcing temporary plans to limit the amount of tweets a user can see in a day. “To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits,” he wrote on the platform. “Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts a day. Unverified accounts to 600 posts a day. New unverified accounts to 300 a day.” Of course, a lot of people (especially unverified accounts) were not happy with this, amid some backlash, the tech mogul provided two increases for these restrictions within hours of each other.

“Rate limits increasing soon to 8000 for verified, 800 for unverified & 400 for new unverified,” Elon Musk tweeted. Moreover, about three hours later, he once again announced an increase to the limits. “Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k.” Ironically enough, Musk’s original tweet announcing these regulations hit a record view count on the social media platform. Even though a lot of people rightfully see this as quite restrictive and potentially harmful considering how much news and media people depend on through Twitter, it’s also hard to say exactly how many tweets a person really needs to read in a given 24-hour timespan.

Regardless, other ideas from Elon Musk actually got commended by some notable figures, including Meek Mill. “In a few weeks, X/Twitter will start paying creators for ads served in their replies,” the soon-to-be former Twitter CEO announced on the platform. “First block payment totals $5M. Note, the creator must be verified and only ads served to verified users count.” “I’m about to cut instagram fully off! Lol,” the rapper posted in support of the idea.

That being said, every rose has its thorn, and Meek Mill had pondered quitting Twitter. “Ima deactivate Twitter forever and go to a new social where it’s more good vibes based off building, creating and motivation,” he wrote in December of 2022. “Whoever run my s**t turn this off forever… Ima takeover my YouTube account to replace me interacting with supports! Too many bots and weird people.” For more news and the latest updates on Elon Musk, stay logged into HNHH.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Implements “Temporary Limit” On Readable Posts Per Day

by

When we think Elon Musk can’t make Twitter any worse, the Tesla CEO finds a way to blow our minds. On Saturday (July 1), thousands of Twitter users began reporting issues with the popular social media site. Many of them were receiving error messages that their account has been “rate limited.” It was initially thought to be some sort of error on the platform’s end. However, this afternoon, Musk is providing us with some clarity.

His latest idea is restricting the content Twitter users can consume each day based on the status of their account. For example, unverified accounts can view 600 posts per day. Newly registered profiles on the same tier can take in even less, at just 300 tweets. Of course, those who pay to verify themselves with Twitter Blue get the best deal. They max out at 6,000 posts in a 24-hour span. “To address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits,” the controversial billionaire announced.

As Variety notes, this rollout comes after another substantial change was made on Friday. To end the month of June, Musk declared that the content on Twitter is available to registered users only, meaning those without an account can no longer freely creep on others. “Temporary emergency measure. We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users,” the 52-year-old further explained. At this time, it’s unclear how long the limitations will remain in place, though the CEO shared that he’s open to other suggestions from users.

While his updates to Twitter continue to cause headaches around the world, Elon Musk seems far more concerned regarding his fate when he fights Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. He’s previously admitted that the showdown may end “badly” for him, but luckily, Musk has plenty of pro athletes offering to train him.
