The owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, has been accused of delaying links to companies he dislikes, on the social media site, from being displayed when they are clicked. The claim was first made by a user, who uses the handle xslowzone, on the Hacker News forum early on Tuesday. The user wrote:...

    “Musk’s X” = “Musksks”

    Guys I think we found a new catchy name for Twitter.

    If you read the actual Hacker News thread, they were getting a 5sec delay with wget, but not curl.

    Don’t remember the details, but it could have been a bug in twitter’s code (i.e. not malicious). But we’ll probably not know the truth because Elon does not reply to media enquiries, and tech journalists love a juicy story.

      Assuming you mean this thread, I find it hard to see how this could be a bug. It doesn’t happen with curl, unless you make curl pretend to be a browser. And only happens on certain target websites known to be despised by Musk. I mean it’s still possible that it’s a bug, but not very likely given these circumstances.
