The ability to tweet, retweet, quote tweet and direct message on Twitter, each core functions of the platform, stopped for many users on Wednesday. The platform's site and app still functioned, so users could scroll through previously posted content, yet interacting with that content on desktop or mobile proved limited or impossible for some.
Users started to realize they were unable to tweet or retweet, for instance, because of a message that came up when trying to do so."You are over the daily limit for sending tweets," the message read. Direct messages were simply gone with the tab only showing the message"something went wrong." Inside the company it was a"scramble" to find the source of the problem and fix things that may have gone wrong, a person familiar with the company said. By Wednesday afternoon Pacific Time, tweeting and likes were functioning again for many users, while the ability to direct message and retweet was still out. Twitter tweeted from itsthat the platform"may not be working as expected for some of you. Sorry for the trouble. We're aware and working to get this fixed.

Your bias is very obvious in anything you produce related to Musk/Twitter. It takes away from your credibility
Just the beginning!
Oh no I’m clutching my purse! BI what you tweet and retweet makes me wonder about you as a company. Not judging just questioning, suppose if I were a sheeple I would think ur wonderful.
