#RIPTwitter: Netizens React To Elon Musk Setting Reading Limit On Tweets

As Elon Musk sets limits on how many tweets users can read per day, netizens react with frustration and hilarity.

On 1 July, Twitter Chief, Elon Musk, dropped a bombshell announcement that's making waves on social media.

According to the executive chairman of Twitter, "temporary limits" have been introduced, restricting verified accounts to reading a maximum of 6,000 posts per day.

Unverified accounts, on the other hand, will have the privilege of accessing up to 600 posts per day, while new unverified accounts will be limited to 300 posts per day.

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:

- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day

In the immediate aftermath of this announcement, a deluge of memes quickly spread like wildfire, capturing the attention of countless users. Most netizens began using the hashtag #RIPTwitter, to express their frustration with Musk's Twitter and its bizarre tweaks and policies.

But hilarious memes stole the show, as netizens had a field day poking fun at the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's latest move.

If Twitter was a restaurant your server would only serve tables that bribed them, the menu would be blank, the plates would be empty, and the owner would be busy talking to a Neo-Nazi about drag queen shows. #RIPTwitter
