BREAKING: Elon Musk has confirmed that Twitter going down is definitely nothing to do with him sacking all of his engineers and leaving himself with four sycophantic employees willing to work 296 hours a week for minimum wage and a daily packet of crisps #TwitterDown

Really enjoying this new twitter where the app doesn't work, you can't see any tweets and even when you can see tweets they aren't from anyone you follow. Truly a brilliant platform.
