no reason to think the rate limit error didn’t actually happen

• I didn’t say that it didn’t happen
• I reported my experience
• I can think of at least two reasons to fake this story: (1) Harris gained a follower when I performed my test, same as the millions of others seeing this story, (2) bad story about Musk for the Musk haters

So maybe it’s true, maybe it isn’t. I haven’t seen evidence other than the claim of someone who supposedly follows thousands of people but hadn’t yet followed the vice president.

Not saying it is true, not saying it isn’t. Saying it might not be, and my own observation doesn’t replicate the claim.
