With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It's been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

"Google Cloud hosts many of Twitter’s trust and safety services. If the disagreement isn’t resolved by the end of the month, and if Twitter severs ties with Google Cloud, this could seriously threaten its ability to fight spam, remove child sexual abuse material and generally protect accounts."

So, it only breaks things that are vitally important for Twitter, as well as legally mandated, but not anything Musk actually cares about...

Yea exactly, clearly intentional in a manner that his rabid fanboys will gloss right over and direct their rage at Google or whoever else he ends up blaming.

When I first heard all of this I thought it was just a ridiculous rumour. Out of all the things Elon has done this probably surprises me the most. Google is probably one of a handful of entities that he can't push around.

I’m surprised any other entities let him push them around? What is actually in it for anyone to do anything for this stupid waste of carbon and water?
