    Yesterday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced these new rules for using Twitter, effectively limiting how many tweets users can view while on the app. Twitter went into a frenzy because of these bizarre new terms. Here are the best reactions.

    NOTE: As per Twitter's new limits policy, you may have to log into Twitter on your browser (annoying, I know, but get it over with now), so you can view posts with tweets.

    Double note: Some people say Twitter is working normally; others are experiencing the Twitter limits. IDK! No one does.
