“@TimSweeneyEpic Several hundred organizations (maybe more) were scraping Twitter data extremely aggressively, to the point where it was affecting the real user experience. What should we do to stop that? I’m open to ideas.”
The tweet archive.
15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.

“@imPenny2x @ADL Our US advertising revenue is still down 60%, primarily due to pressure on advertisers by @ADL (that’s what advertisers tell us), so they almost succeeded in killing X/Twitter!”
“@danielhoughton @anothercohen @iamharaldur I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful. He is considering remaining at Twitter.”
“@farzyness Twitter isn’t secure yet, just not in the fast lane to bankruptcy. Still much work to do.”
“@robbystarbuck @realDailyWire @MattWalshBlog @Twitter @JeremyDBoreing We’re updating the system tomorrow so that those who follow @realDailyWire will see this in their feed, but it won’t be recommended to non-followers (nor will any advertising be associated with it)”
“@MrAndyNgo @pwsyme I don’t know this person at all, but explicit threats of violence obviously violate Twitter ToS”
“… is what it feels like understanding how Twitter works”
“@KimDotcom Twitter engineering is working on it”
“@TomFitton @Twitter We do”
“@AmandaMilius Twitter isn’t using Perkins Coie. No company should use them until they make amends for Sussman’s attempt to corrupt a Presidential election.”

“@WholeMarsBlog Record numbers of users are logging in to see if Twitter is dead, ironically making it more alive than ever!”
“@PatrickWStanley @BillyM2k It is objectively the case that “conservative” political candidates were more negatively affected than “progressive” candidates. Anyone using Twitter knows this. Question is simply one of magnitude.”

“@GailAlfarATX The bots/trolls generate fake activity, so Twitter may seem a little less lively, but actually it’s just that the fakery is gone”
“@erichjrusch @Twitter @Jason @DavidSacks Definitely”
“@RobHerring @OANN Only Twitter”
“@TheLeoTerrell @Twitter To be clear, I am generally pro-FBI, recognizing, of course, that no organization is perfect, including FBI”

“Going live on Twitter in ~20 mins”
“@all_in_tok @SFGovTV @theallinpod @DavidSacks @Jason Exactly. Take a walk through downtown around Twitter HQ. Outrageous that city officials would claim that it is not dangerous!”
“Yup [@KequeMage] @jonatanpallesen here's a bunch of hand picked, verified twitter accounts from 2016 era”
“@RaheemKassam They just can’t stop writing about Twitter, which is driving usage through roof lmao”
“@MattMackowiak @Twitter @DavidSacks This is being fixed. Policy against showing blood in profile pic is being amended to “clearly showing blood without clicking on the profile pic”. The intent is to avoid people being forced to see gruesome profile pics.”
“Twitter has spoken …”
“@jordanbpeterson This is simply based on the same list of terms that Twitter has used for some time, so ceteris paribus”
“@ClayTravis @Twitter Strange priorities …”
“@TitterTakeover Super appreciate support of @NFL & major advertisers & congrats to Twitter team!”
“Yup [@GiveMeBanHammer] Gentle Reminder to everyone as to what the Old Twitter Verification looks like, in case people forgot.”
“@stillgray @ezralevant @latimes The reason satire about CNN proposing censorship of Twitter could so easily be construed as reality is because that is the prevailing sentiment of the media! Satire is reveals a deeper truth.”
“@TheRabbitHole84 New Twitter is the source of truth”
“@PPathole @Twitter Twitter legal just called to complain that I violated their NDA by revealing the bot check sample size is 100! This actually happened.”
“@kylenabecker @Twitter Not even Associated Press with their completely fictional report on Russian missiles hitting Poland that carried severe consequences for escalating the war”
“@Unfilteredboss1 @KimDotcom Good point. Twitter will make that change.”
“To answer the question: Why Twitter?”
“@CollinRugg That is a little delayed, as a key researcher can only travel to Twitter in early Feb”
“@KeithWoodsYT ADL has tried very hard to strangle X/Twitter”
“@firesideint Twitter’s legacy Blue Verified is unfortunately deeply corrupted, so will sunset in a few months”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @Twitter What more could you ask for in a CEO!?”
“@MrAndyNgo @josephmenn Joseph Menn is a contemptible liar. Twitter policy has always been to suspend accounts that clearly & repeatedly incite violence.”
“@MomAngtrades Prior Twitter management & board lied to make their user numbers seem artificially higher, so turned a blind eye to fake/spam accounts”
“@bariweiss @libsoftiktok Former head of censorship at Twitter was perhaps not entirely unbiased … https://t.co/yynb9whc5S”
“@RpsAgainstTrump Ye’s account was restored by Twitter before the acquisition. They did not consult with or inform me.”
“@MrAndyNgo @ramzpaul That is a disturbing story and very concerning that Twitter took no action, despite clear violation of ToS. Report in this thread for now.”
“@PatrickW @kylenabecker @Twitter A large coalition of political/social activist groups agreed not to try to kill Twitter by starving us of advertising revenue if I agreed to this condition. They broke the deal.”
“@BillyM2k I get all my opinions from Twitter”
“@kumareth 🤣🤣 People on Twitter should like things more!”
“Indeed, the goal was to democratize verification, rather than have it be controlled by a group of biased elites! [@TimSweeneyEpic] @tomwarren Very strange. After prior Twitter leadership treated verification as a perk nominally reserved for “the elite” by but in practice handed out by Twitter employees to friends and cronies, Elon opened it up to everyone for a reasonable price. This was a good thing.”
“@Cernovich Like I said, my preference is to hew close to the laws of countries in which Twitter operates. If the citizens want something banned, then pass a law to do so, otherwise it should be allowed.”
