It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

I think it's probably a combination of self-DDOSing and not paying providers. Which any intelligent experienced dev could've told him, but they all got fired months ago.
Its almost like the developers were holding the site together.

Sometimes, I wonder if Elon is really smart? Or he's just super dumb and lucky? The things he said and did are plain weird. I have a feeling Twitter will be going down along with Reddit. Funny thing is, I've never had a Twitter account to start with.
After these last nine months, it's become brutally and very publicly clear that this dude was lucky to be born rich. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago that the world thought he was a visionary, but oh well, the truth had to come out eventually.

It's ok guys, Elon told his engineers to just rewrite the stack, so all problems will go away!

Twitter isn’t paying any bills. They have a contract with us as well and haven’t been paying anything for months.
I read that Elon is moving Twitter from Google Cloud over to Oracle Cloud with his buddy Larry Ellison. The rate limiting may be due to this migration.
