In what seems to be another attempt to walk back an attempt by Elon Musk to make money from Twitter any way he can, it appears that Elon’s attempt to charge for API access, which he has sort of done a U-turn on, is now being delayed. I’m basing that on this Tweet:
Fun fact: There has been ZERO enthusiasm when it comes to the changes to Twitter’s API.
The bottom line is this. Elon is trying to make a buck on anything he can. But his “ready, fire, aim” mentality keeps catching him out when his attempts to make money by any means keeps blowing up in his face. You’d think that he’d stop doing this as the humiliation of having to constantly walk stuff he does back would get old after a while. But clearly that’s not the case with Elon. In any case, it will be interesting to see what Twitter does in “a few more days” when it comes to API access. And whether it will quiet all those who are really mad about this.
