It’s time for Elon Musk’s Twitter mishap, which seems to happen on a daily basis.
Around noon ET on Monday, users began reporting that a number of critical Twitter features, including links, photos, and Tweetdeck, were no longer functional.
When users attempted to click on a link, they received the following error message:
{“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}]}
All links shared on Twitter or automatically shortened using Twitter’s service, t.co, appear to be affected (Opens in a new tab).
However, that is not the only problem. Photos uploaded directly to the platform are not loading either. Instead of the image, users are presented with a blank solid grey or brown color.
Tweetdeck users are also reporting technical difficulties with the Twitter-owned dashboard application.
This platform is so brittle (sigh). Will be fixed shortly.

Of course, social media platforms, including Twitter, have experienced technical difficulties in the past. However, since Musk acquired the platform, Twitter appears to have been plagued with a slew of problems, including broken features and frequent website downtime.
These technological issues have become so common that Musk’s response to users complaining about issues on the platform, usually a tweet claiming that he is “looking into it,” has become a meme at this point.
However, it appears that Musk is attempting something new this time.
“This platform is so brittle (sigh),” he wrote on Twitter. “Will be fixed soon.”
