There are people and platforms that don't like Elon Musk, and the latter, although he generally takes criticism in stride, recently decided to take radical action.
Social media giant Twitter, which is owned by Musk, applied a five-second delay that slowed access to sites — a process known as throttling — including the New York Times, Reuters, Instagram and Blue Sky, another social network. the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Sites that open late include Twitter competitors and media outlets that have criticized Elon Musk. The Washington Post tested the delays and found that if someone clicks a link on Twitter, the page opens with a delay and for five seconds, the screen is blank.
After reporting, the issue appears to have been resolved. Musk has waged a constant battle against his critics in the media. In April, Twitter labeled the BBC and NPR as "state-affiliated media", prompting protests from media outlets and their staff.
