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.

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.?
