Many Twitter users feared that the platform would fall apart after Musk took over Twitter in October and swiftly fired thousands of employees and contractors. That hasn’t happened yet, butOn Monday, links and images completely broke on Twitter for a spell across the company's website and mobile apps."Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted:"A small API change had massive ramifications. The code stack is extremely brittle for no good reason. Will ultimately need a complete rewrite." Twitter is restricting its APIs, the tools developers use to hook into the platform, and the company said it would start charging for access to them in early February.
Clicking on a link raised an error message that read:"Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information." That link was also broken for a while.
