Elon Musk Is Having Another Bad Day As Twitter Takes A Dirt Nap Just After Expanded Tweet Counts Were Launched

Just before 5PM today, a Twitter outage was reported by Down Detector:

Many are unable to Tweet. Other users are seeing a different error message: “You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets.” Either way this is bad for Twitter. It isn’t clear what is causing this. But my guess is that it might have something to do with the launch of 4,000 character tweets:

While this is limited to Twitter Blue subscribers in the US at launch, what few of them exist, anyone worldwide can read these Tweets. The timing is too coincidental, and it will be interesting to see how Elon fixes this.

Remind me again why I should pay you $8 a month? Right now I don’t see the value proposition.
