That didn't fit with his limiting how many tweets users are able to view.
Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. He's an idiot with money.
The theory behind that is that Twitter failed to pay for their web-services and needed to suddenly cut traffic, otherwise they'd be shutdown by Amazon / Google.
After Twitter paid Amazon/Google, they raised the tweet view-limits appropriately, but the damage was already done.
