Source of this is from Matthew Prince, Co-founder & CEO of Cloudflare posted at 11:34 Jul 9,2023. It was posted to his twitter (@eastdakota). Not linking to twitter bc don’t want a deadlink next time twitter makes API changes. And not to drive traffic to twitter :D

Edit: July 11th update, arstechnica published a detailed explanation

    Feels like a “no shit, Sherlock” headline but good to see hard proof. Disappointed in it only being a small amount tho

      to be fair, the original poster used the word “tanking” and he knows a thing or two about DNS. I thought “tanking” was too click-baity and toned it down :D

      I think it’s more of a “thank God” moment than anything. The way shits been going these past few years it’s completely possible thier traffic could have gone up. Just because.

      The dip is small but the enormous debt Elon put on its back will definitely kill it soon enough.

          Nah, at this point his only option is to cancel Starship and redirect all of its development funding into building a time machine so that he can dramatically increase the amount of weed he was smoking at the time he got the brilliant idea to buy Twitter so that his brain is made incapable of actually following through with it.
