The fun thing with Musk is it’s now impossible to determine whether he’s lying, doing something stupid, or simply inaccurately reporting something someone who actually knows what they’re talking about told him.
This isn’t how you handle automated processes scraping you, you handle that by restricting things that human beings can’t do. Preventing literally every user from seeing a reasonable amount of content is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. And it’s an ad-supported service. If nobody’s able to view content, they’re also not viewing ads.
With this move, he has truly achieved fractal wrongness.
First off, Musk fired the PR department, so there’s no way to get his side of the discussion.
I personally think that there’s something else going on and the scraping is just the front to push this through. Maybe he wants the death of Twitter look natural, which wouldn’t be the case if he just shut it down.
