A rivalry between Elon Musk and Microsoft is brewing over the usage of data belonging to social media platform Twitter, and the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has threatened to sue the Big Tech firm, claiming that it “illegally” trained its artificial intelligence (AI) on Twitter data. It is important to mention here that the “Dogefather” приобрела Twitter в октябре 2022 г. по цене $54,20 за акцию, несмотря на то, что ранее в том же году сделка не состоялась.

19 апреля было раскрытый что Microsoft не будет платить сборы за API, введенные Twitter после поглощения Илоном Маском. В ответ компания Big Tech решила прекратить поддержку Twitter 25 апреля в своих инструментах онлайн-рекламы, Smart Campaigns и Multi-platform. 

Microsoft announced that from April 25, its customers will not be able to access their Twitter accounts through the company’s social management tool, create and manage drafts or Tweets, view past Tweets and engagement, or schedule Tweets. On the other hand, social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn will remain available. 

More importantly, Microsoft made more than $12 billion in digital advertising revenue in 2022 via the ads that were created, managed, and run through its Advertising platform. In response to this news, Elon Musk stated that the Big Tech company trained its AI “illegally using Twitter data” while adding that it is “lawsuit time,” implying that he plans to sue the company for its usage of the data. 

Они незаконно тренировались, используя данные Twitter. Время судебного разбирательства.

Additionally, Microsoft hasn’t explained why it is winding down support for Twitter, but the brewing rivalry between the company and Elon Musk indicates that it has something to do with the Twitter API fees rising from $0 to $42,000 in a month. The Big Tech firm, which is worth $2.15 trillion, refuses to pay the API fees, which are upwards of $200,000 per month in some cases, as per a March report from Проводной.

I’m curious if you have a long term plan here. I understand charging for the API, but I think that one thing that had been great about Twitter in the past is it’s ability to function across the internet. In many cases this move is killing traffic to Twitter itself from outside…

Elon Musk also alleged that Microsoft is “demonetizing” Twitter data by removing advertisements and “then selling our data to others.” The Big Tech firm based in Redmond, Washington, US, has made its decision a few months after Twitter stopped providing free access to the Twitter API for versions 1.1 and 2.

Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

С другой стороны, ученые сильно пострадали от решения Илона Маска повысить цену на Twitter API. С 2020 года на основе данных Twitter основано более 17 500 научных статей.

SCOOP: Twitter’s new API access starts at $42,000 a month for 0.3% of Twitter’s data. My latest for @ПРОВОДНАЯ speaks to researchers who say that’s a non-starter https://t.co/RfGyWqpIgF

Иск Dogecoin против Илона Маска 

It is crucial to note that Elon Musk has been sued by several investors in the largest meme coin in the crypto space, Dogecoin (DOGE), which was heavily promoted by the Tesla CEO on Twitter in the 2021–2022 time period. The lawsuit claims that the billionaire promoted the crypto coin and conducted fraud as the value of DOGE plummeted significantly thereafter.

On the contrary, the lawyers representing Elon Musk have asked a judge to dismiss the $258 billion lawsuit filed by investors in Dogecoin (DOGE), claiming that it was a “fanciful work of fiction.”
