NEWS: Twitter has filed a lawsuit against 4 entitities located in Dallas, Texas, accusing them of scraping large amounts of data.

"These requests have severely burdened X Corp’s servers. and degraded the user experience for millions of X Corp.’s customers,” the suit says.
The volume of automated logging requests from the four defendants, the lawsuit alleges, far exceeds what any person can send to an individual, and shows that the requests were aimed at scrubbing data from Twitter.

Last week many mainstream media outlets spread theories that Twitter rate limiting was due to missed server payments, despite the evidence contradicting this and Twitter's servers being on-prem anyway.

Hopefully these lawsuits can reveal the full truth of what happened.
Twitter has not yet been able to confirm the identities of the 4 defendants. The IP addresses were identified from a flood of requests sent to Twitter's signup page.
UPDATE: Elon states that several of the scrapers were trying to take every tweet ever made - a number estimated to be in the trillions - and this is what necessitated the rate limits.

NEWS: Twitter has sued Watchell, the law firm that represented the company in the Delaware case that sought to force Elon to complete his purchase.

Twitter is accusing Wachell of breaching its fiduciary duty ("fiducaries who had lost their motivation to act in Twitter’s best interest pending its imminent sale to Elon Musk") and seeking restitution for a $90 million payment.

Elon also responded to charges of hypocrisy over creating X AI at the same time as calling for an AI pause.

He says he can't comment much on X AI since its still in early stages, but since the pause didn't happen, he would prefer to be a participant not an observer.

NEWS: Highlights from Zuby’s interview with Elon!

Elon points out that giving in to advertiser demands is costing Twitter about $2 Billion in ad revenue a year.

“Freedom of speech is pretty expensive”.

🧵
Elon says the months since the Twitter acquisition have been “extra difficult” in terms of his workload, even on top of his usual busy schedule.

Twitter is stable by this point, Linda will be a great help with that too.
Elon says he will still be spending a fair bit of time at Twitter, but it won’t be taking up as much time as before. Now that Twitter is financially stable, it’s not an emergency situation anymore in which Elon had to work a lot there.

NEWS: The Twitter team continue to find shadowbans buried deep in the Twitter code.

Just last week they found a measure that stopped accounts assigned a low 'Reputation score' from trending.

This shadowban even applied to Elon's account and prevented his tweets from trending. Image
The Reputation score applied to accounts was simply based on how many times an account was reported. This wasn’t relative to follower count - so anyone with a large following would be hit.

Elon said yesterday shadowban transparency tools are coming:

Another example from a few weeks before this new Zuby podcast - Elon explained the Twitter team found some keyword-related shadowbans in code dating back to 2012.

NEWS: Highlights from Elon’s keynote at @VivaTech in Paris!

The talk began on a self-depreciating note.

Elon: "If I'm so smart why did I pay so much for Twitter?"

🧵
@VivaTech Interviewer: What was wrong with Twitter before you decided to buy it?

Elon explained he’s been a heavy Twitter user for a long time, and he was “closely attuned” to how the platform was shifting.

He was concerned Twitter was having a negative effect on civilization.
@VivaTech Elon: Twitter was having a corrosive effect on civil society. We should do everything possible to move civilization in a positive direction, and he felt Twitter kept moving more and more in a negative direction.

Elon’s hope was to change that and have it be a positive force.
