It would appear that Elon understands his paying customer's after all. Cynical interpretation would be that he just made Twitter API access more scarce and therefore valuable.

Still, mine is just a guess.

edit: Come to think of it, didn't FB eventually moved from super open API to.. friend and family model?

IIRC, FB was originally public-first before (lawsuits). Not API, just default privacy settings.
