UFC Hall of Famer fires shots at Elon Musk with sarcastic 4-word tweet
UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping called out Elon Musk amidst ongoing Twitter controversy.
On Saturday, June 1, Musk shocked Twitter supporters by implementing a limit on the number of tweets people are allowed to view a day. Once users reach their assigned limit, they are unable to see new tweets until the following day. The 52-year-old billionaire explained the new policy by saying:
“To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits: - Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day - Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day - New unverified accounts to 300/day.”

Musk’s decision to limit Twitter usage led to widespread backlash. After spending a lot of time explaining the new policy, the Tesla CEO switched gears by posting a picture of space with the caption saying:
“So much space”
Bisping responded to Musk’s space reference with a comment saying:
“Just not on twitter”
