Over the last year President Trump and Elon Musk have exchanged friendly jabs at one another.
Trump’s most recent Truth Social Retruth was a meme depicting how many users on Twitter will flock to Truth Social due to the fact Twitter has temporarily restricted users to only view 600 tweets a day for unverified users and 6,000 tweets for verified users.
Take a look at the meme Trump shared:
On June 1st Elon sent out a tweet warning users there would be a new view limit set in a place.
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— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 1, 2023
Check out what Business Insider reported:
In his latest Twitter shake-up, Elon Musk has decided to temporarily control how many tweets users can read each day.
ADVERTISEMENTOn Saturday, Musk announced the daily limit, with some accounts restricted to 300 posts.
Musk said verified users would be able to read 6,000 posts per day, while unverified and newly created unverified accounts would only be able to read either 600 or 300 posts per day.
The decision sparked backlash and within hours the billionaire said he had extended the limits to 10,000 for verified users, 1,000 for unverified users, and 500 for newly unverified users.

Check out what Cyber News reported:
In an effort to curb the effects of AI data scraping, Twitter is no longer allowing individuals to view tweets on the social media platform unless they’re logged into an account.
T(w)itter Daily News posted about the news Friday afternoon on the platform, but according to Twitter owner Elon Musk, the new policy won’t last forever.
“Twitter’s web version no longer allows users to browse without logging in, @TitterDaily posted.
ADVERTISEMENT“All urls redirect to the signup page,” the tweet said.
“This is believed to be a measure to make it harder for scrapers to take Twitter’s data, like ChatGPT’s web browsing plugin has been doing,” it said.
A few hours later, Twitter owner Elon Musk confirmed not only the rumor of redirected URLs but also the reason behind the platform’s move to block unregistered users from freely navigating the site.
