It's the existing pricing for a very specific enterprise API that lets you do historical analysis of tweets, not the new pricing for the general v1/v2 APIs

No faster way to save the relevance of your "public square" platform than to lock its content off behind an API paywall

All those "cute animal every hour" accounts are going to be killed by the API charges. The last reason I had to be on the site is gone.

If I understand correctly this would directly impact listening/platforms (e.g. Hootsuite) so ultimately this will probably chase off even more corporations from Twitter as they'll have their abilities to social listen dramatically reduced and the value of the users on there is dropping so there's less a reason to bother.

Great strategy to lose even more advertisers.

Also, the real value of twitter is that high profile users are posting. If you in any way make it harder for a brand, celebrity, or power user to post then the casual users's ad views dry up. Ways to dissuade high profile users from posting is to get rid of third party clients, charge for API usage for automated posts, charge for API usage for analytics/trends, etc.

A good example is how most huge corporations use the API to search for customer complaints every second. Then those negative tweets are shown to a human who selects from a menu of responses to reply using the API. I.E. "I hate my Comcast internet that is down", followed by a reply from Comcast asking them to DM their support account if they need assistance. That is probably hundreds of search API calls a second, followed by API calls to retrieve the profile data of every user whose tweet matched. I look forward to all those corporate customer service accounts going dormant.

Get drama clicks by loudly declaring you're going private. Drama clicks are, of course, a bubble, so engagement goes back to lower than baseline because now you're just getting your normal followers but no boosting to non-followers from replies and the like.

Also the Twitter Blue people still don't have most of the promised features they're paying monthly for yet but instead how about an entirely new feature, out of the blue, that nobody cares about!

I mean co-tweets were absolutely pointless and dumb but this might be dumber. I wonder if this is going to be on top of the suggested 4000 character thing or if this is what the character thing has become. But lol at anyone going to twitter to read essays

Are manifestos considered essays? I could see that being a popular feature with the kinds of users Elon is courting.

I could see this working as a quick non sustainable squeeze on corpo Twitter. It's worth thousands of dollars to be able to respond to "@Mcdonalds why is there a pube in my fries?" until the entire trustworthyness of the platform disintegrates more completely.
