Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“As with many things Musk has said, this sounds utterly made up.”
What we tested: Musk's justification that rate-limiting was needed to stop bad actors scraping Twitter to build AI models sounds made up.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“While some are suggesting that the most obvious reason for rate-limiting was Musk’s failure to pay his bills, the real one may be far more obvious — that Musk decided he was going to “fix” a problem that had been present for a while, or did not exist.”
What we tested: The real reason for Twitter's rate-limiting may be that Musk tried to fix a scraping problem that had existed for a long time or did not exist at all.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“He believes that he can somehow monetize Twitter’s data by selling it to AI companies without any real understanding of the economics of doing so.”
What we tested: Musk believes he can make money by selling Twitter's data to AI companies but has no real understanding of the economics of doing so.
