   This is hilarious. Twitter appears to be DDOSing itself.

   The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

   Notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

   The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in. This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned.

   Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.
