- The slowed links included competitors to Twitter and news publications that have fallen out of favor with Elon Musk due to critical reporting.
- The Washington Post tested the delays and found that when clicking a link on Twitter, a blank screen was displayed for several seconds.

- The delay seems to only affect t.co links, a service that processes and shortens links posted on Twitter.
X apparently added 5-second delay for links to sites Musk doesn’t like: X, formerly Twitter, "confirmed the delay was removed but did not elaborate."
arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/08/x-apparently-added-5-second-delay-for-links-to-sites-musk-doesnt-like/

- This puts a lot of pressure on Twitter Blue, the company's paid subscription service, to make money.
- Musk is aware of this on some level, as it appears that Twitter is working on ways to hide the checkmark.
- Because humans can make status symbols out of anything, this silly checkmark eventually came to be seen as a status symbol.
