Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's Javascript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second.
Twitter is DDOSing itself.
BREAKING: Multiple software engineering experts accuse Twitter owner Elon Musk of hiding the REAL reason why Twitter is crashing — and of rolling out a shameless lie in order to hide the truth.
Dozens of experts are now accusing Elon Musk and his Twitter of being under a self-inflicted ��DDOS attack” because “Twitter is firing off 10 requests per second to itself to try to fetch content that never arrives because Elon Musk’s latest ‘genius’ innovation is to block users from being able to read content without being logged in.”
So, there you have it folks. Musk broke Twitter and is now trying to sell Twitter users a phony excuse that he’s trying to stop “data scraping.” Very Trumpian of him…

@scottjohnson Or for over a decade for those of us that worked there too… sadly, think this is the fulfillment of where it was always heading - the brass is just getting more brash now and they really don’t care
@scottjohnson As an artist in a couple of mediums, I don’t fear this change the same I don’t fear the work of photobashers in tattoo world.
It will lower the bar for entry, and likely deride actual practical artists further but also has the chance for a proper Luddite movement.
