Twitter has been a reliable source of information for the majority of the population in the 21st century. It has also been a mode of entertainment for many, apart from other social media platforms. However, the latest rule implemented by Twitter CEO Elon Musk has led to him facing a lot of backlash from the online community. Twitter users are constantly crucifying Elon Musk on his latest update. Be it temporary, people are not happy with Musk’s latest implementation, including an NBA All-Star.

In the hopes of reducing screen time on Twitter, CEO Elon Musk has implemented a new temporary rule that will limit its users to read or view only a certain number of posts per day on Twitter.

Fox went on to tweet, “Twitter is stupid.” He followed that by retweeting his previous post with, “Can’t even see the replies to my own tweet but I can tweet,” followed by a laughing emoji at the end.

For now, it has only been Fox from the NBA community who has reacted to this latest new rule. But one can be sure that numerous other celebrities and athletes will follow suit in Fox’s footsteps.

Will other big names follow in De’Aaron Fox’s footsteps?

Musk retweeted a parody account stating the reason why he chose to implement this new rule. The tweet went on to state, “The reason I set a “View Limit” is because we are all Twitter addicts and need to go outside. I’m doing a good deed for the world here. Also, that’s another view you just used.”
