Lil Nas X found the perfect way to troll with Twitter's new feature
Twitter is testing out a new feature where you can limit who replies to your tweet and Lil Nas X — a prolific and good celebrity tweeter — found an amazing way to use it to troll.
People with the new feature can limit, post by post, who can reply to their tweets. Lil Nas X posted he'd give $100 to everyone who replied to his post... and then didn't tag anyone. Meaning nobody could collect their hundred bucks.

"damn so nobody want no money? ok then i guess," he followed up, leaning into the joke.

Other folks besides Lil Nas X are already finding interesting and fun ways to use the new feature. Basically, as is the case with anything on Twitter, it has already become a meme. Right now it's only a select few who can jump in on the fun, but perhaps someday soon we'll all be doing "you can't reply" meme until it's beaten into the ground and dead.
