In the morning news on April 20, it was reported that Microsoft issued a statement saying that the social media planning and scheduling tool for advertisers no longer supports Twitter, because Musk changed the policy, and access to the Twitter program interface will be charged in the future.

Musk is very dissatisfied with Microsoft’s blocking order. He accused Microsoft of illegally using Twitter data for AI training and threatened to sue Microsoft. Under Musk’s leadership, companies have to pay if they want to access Twitter data streams, and Microsoft’s dissatisfaction is completely understandable.

Early this morning, Musk tweeted, “They (Microsoft) illegally used Twitter data for training. It’s time to sue them.”

But while it’s no secret that ChatGPT and Microsoft’s other AIs use vast amounts of Internet data for training, Musk has little evidence to support his allegations.

In fact, Musk sued Microsoft not because he minded that the other party used Twitter’s data, but just threatened to stop Microsoft’s cooperation and support, and vented his dissatisfaction with OpenAI.

The Smart Campaigns service developed by Microsoft can help advertisers manage social media marketing activities, covering platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Microsoft said that from April 25th, Smart Campaigns users will not be able to perform tasks such as creating tweets, writing drafts, and will not be able to see past tweets or view tweet interactions.

Microsoft is the largest investor in OpenAI. Musk participated in the formation of OpenAI and left in 2018. Currently, Twitter led by Musk is also betting on AI.
