You spewing the same nonsense as all the online haters. Anyway, revisit your comments in 24 months. Oh, one doesn't commit borderline fraud, it's either fraud or not.
I'm saying borderline because it's still being investigated, and something can be borderline when it should be but rule doesn't exist yet.
And "haters", just check the financials vs what paid, it's basic accounting, of course must be a hater pointing it out.
In terms of the API, this is a good thing as the API was being abused by paid 3rd party apps which blocked Twitter adverts - a vital source of revenue for Twitter.
Most social media apps don't allow paid for 3rd party apps to kill revenue.
"Abused" when they fixed a lot of functionality of Twitter and is what made it popular in the first place.
The pricing is also insane.
And any "normal" company would have a grace period, to give those apps time to implement a charge per request, and cost should be something similar to what Twitter makes per add shown on average per request.
Reddit for non-commercial has a free API:
https://www.reddit.com/wiki/api/ btw. , also highly doubtful they charge 4-30c/request, also only 30 days.
But of course, must be a hater. Basic read:

Also, what stops me from using a scraping bot now? Enjoy the wasted resources.
SpaceX and Tesla easier? Where's your evidence?
Based on those companies already being set up for profitability in terms of good board, employees, etc. already working/close to product that is profitable, also physical product.
Starlink borderline fraud:

Among other things.
Mastadon is a twitter competitor - here is the code
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon - not very complex.
Code to land a rocket, launch astronauts or driver a car is much more complex & more sophisticated than Twitter/Mastadon.
"He's been (at least borderline) committing fraud" - no such thing. It's either fraud or isn't.
There no evidence of fraud.
I didn't say Mastadon was a success, I never said Twitter is a success.
Check up on Tesla cybertruck promises, Tesla last person to sell stock, I linked you the starlink claiming donation when it wasn't, etc., he lies a lot to stockholders.
All of those should be lawsuits imho.
Ford CEO Jim Farley talked to CNN about Mustang Mach-E and the F-150 Lightning on CNN 4th Feb 2023:
"Ford showed this week that it’s not going to be as easy for traditional automakers to catch Tesla in the race to build the better electric vehicle, despite what Tesla’s doubters think."
But you know better than the CEO of Ford.
Maybe not quote only the headline clickbait?
Farley said these and other cost problems meant that Ford “
left about $2 billion of profit on the table.”
It’s a sign that
those who predicted that Tesla would soon lose its advantage due to increased competition in EV offerings from the established automakers were getting ahead of themselves.
Note that soon, I said other entrants are entering the market, will see how long being ahead lasts, I never said they weren't/aren't ahead right now and won't be for the next 2/3 years, we'll see what happens in 5 years or so.
Again, you're stating stuff I never said.
It's been a few months since the Twitter takeover.
Many (like you) said it would fail and be offline - especially after retrenching 70% of the staff and losing advertisers.
But I didn't say it would immediately be offline? I highly doubt he'll take it offline, loans would come due immediately.
Fourteen of the top 30 advertisers on Twitter stopped all advertising on the platform after Musk took charge on October 27, according to the Pathmatics estimates. Four advertisers reduced spending between 92% and 98.7% from the week before Musk's acquisition through the end of the year.
Overall, advertising spending by the
top 30 companies fell by 42% to an estimated $53.8 million for November and December combined, according to Pathmatics,
despite an increase in spending by six of them.
Top advertisers on Twitter slashed their spending after Elon Musk's takeover, according to estimates compiled for Reuters by research firm Pathmatics, in the latest shock to the company's dominant revenue source.

So question is how long until he runs out of other's people money, or if keeps selling other stock to make up for it, and when those stocks also crash.
