Twitter is down for the count on the web, with the site not loading and also links not embedding or working at all.
Users trying to visit Twitter.com are being shown the following message, including those seen on our end as well:
{“errors”:[{“message”:”Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint, please see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api for more information”,”code”:467}]}
But Twitter for Mac is still working at this moment.
Twitter Support just announced ten minutes ago they are working on a fix after making changes that broke links.
“Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We’re working on this now and will share an update when it’s fixed,” said Twitter Support.
Twitter’s “Chief Twit” replied to the service outage by saying, “This platform is so brittle (sigh). Will be fixed shortly.”

Update March 6, 9:48am PT: Twitter.com is working again.
Musk later added, “a small API change had massive ramifications. The code stack is extremely brittle for no good reason,” citing the existing Twitter code.
“Will ultimately need a complete rewrite,” added Musk, reiterating his plans for Twitter.
