[VERGE] Elon Musk blames ‘data scrapers’ as he puts up paywalls for reading tweets

Never understood why this man was ever so lauded. He always seemed antithetical to what the internet and tech/ silicon valley people were about. He simply got lucky with PayPal and managed to spin up a fortune doing unethical things. He's antidemocratic and anti-free speech, and shouldn't be trusted. He got what his handlers/backers (Saudis, etc.) wanted and has managed to destroy a legitimate vehicle for the free sharing of ideas. Twitter can't collapse fast enough. Hate what this man has brought to it and how he has destroyed a platform that could've been fixed/saved.
