Elon Musk tried to rid Twitter of bots by blocking accounts, but impacted many legitimate users.

Sunday's ban only lasted for a bit more than an hour, before the telecom companies passed their customers' complaints onto the social network.

On the company's Slack, a Twitter engineer shared an email from one of the companies, Platformer reported. One employee said:"I expect more emails like this to hit our peering queue tomorrow."The telecom companies were told the issue was due to"routing configuration changes" as Twitter staff quickly undid the block.

Musk had also demanded employees explain why a specific account had been able to impersonate him, per Platformer. The hacked account had been able to share crypto scams because it was verified. One employee said that Twitter's content moderation tool used to identify spam"has been unstable for at least a week now."
