An "amateur hour" Javascript bug is self-DDOSing Twitter, sending infinite requests from users related to — or possibly even causing — Elon Musk's "temporary emergency measures" to stop web scraping.

It‘s pretty clear to me this guy knows nothing other than "how to throw money at intelligent people to make them make more money", but with Twitter he somehow didn‘t do that. Instead he went the opposite way, to not pay bills and fire the intelligent people. I can only surmise, that this is an effort to destroy Twitter, maybe it was a thorn in some countries side?

He thought that Twitter's appeal to the best developers is the same as SpaceX's and Tesla's on their own tech areas, but to anyone else it's pretty obvious that Twitter isn't that special.
