[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes no sense. Is it just incompetence? Some of Elon’s favorite people wrote on Substack.

“Writers trying to embed tweets in their Substack stories are in for a rude surprise: after pasting a link to the site, a message pops up saying that “Twitter has unexpectedly restricted access to embedding tweets in Substack posts” and explaining that the company is working on a fix.

After those reports surfaced, between Thursday night and Friday morning, Twitter apparently began to restrict promotion and visibility for tweets with links to Substack posts. New tweets linking directly to Substack.com can still be tweeted, but trying to retweet or like those tweets via Twitter’s website results in an error message saying, “Some actions on this Tweet have been disabled by Twitter,” while doing the same from within its apps or TweetDeck appears to work while failing silently.”

I’d assume incompetence, yes. He fired everyone. [/quote]

Lots of journos announced they're done with Twitter over this since this is how they monetize it.  Even Elon's fanboy Taibbi is leaving Twitter:
