“Reducing the max allowed tweets per day to a number below what a speed typist on meth could do was helpful,” Elon Musk said, adding that he while he was in “half a mind to wag my finger at the 1500 accounts that caused the spike”, he would resist.
Musk had announced this month that Twitter’s new policy is “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach”, adding that Twitter will demonetize and not promote tweets containing hate speech or otherwise “negative” content
