    There are rumors that Twitter is having a dispute with its cloud providers, that is why they need to limit bandwidth.

        Refuse to pay bills for your clouds infrastructure.

        Refuse to pay rent for your offices.

        Big brain time.

          How the fuck can someone be so stingy while being worth 200 billion is mind-boggling. Megalomania is a mental illness caused by money.

            It makes sense here.

            He wasn’t serious about buying Twitter, but the FCC was going to force him because he accidentally committed to it legally and couldn’t get out of it

            To make the deal he had to get loans with his other stock as collateral.

            He could legitimately lose huuuge chunks of his wealth if Twitter goes under and he can’t pay the loans. And he has no idea how to make it profitable. No one’s figured it out, it’s likely impossible.

            He’s used to making short term moves to drive up stock price, but there’s no Twitter stock price now.

            He has no idea what to do, and his ego is too big to admit he’s wrong.
