Elon Musk’s latest petty move targeted The New York Times and others 본문
Elon Musk’s latest petty move targeted The New York Times and others
Earlier this week, I was on X (the social media site formerly known as Twitter) and I saw a tweet from The New York Times.
It was a link to a story, something regarding the Trump indictment in Georgia. Interested in the story, I clicked on the link.
Then, there was a delay — a few seconds — before the story popped up on my screen. For the briefest moment, I thought there might have been something going on with my computer or my Wi-i, but once the story appeared on my screen, I forgot all about it.
Until, later in the day, it happened again. Again, it was a New York Times story that took a few seconds to load after I clicked on a link in a tweet.
And to be honest, all this really didn’t register with me until I saw this story in The Washington Post on Tuesday: “Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to news and websites he dislikes.”
Post reporters Jeremy B. Merrill and Drew Harwell wrote that X “has begun slowing the speed with which users can access links to the New York Times, Facebook and other news organizations and online competitors, a move that appears targeted at companies that have drawn the ire of owner Elon Musk.”
Other organizations that appeared to be impacted besides the Times and Facebook included Instagram, Reuters, Bluesky and Substack. Many other news sites — The Washington Post, Fox News, the major networks and even NPR, which Musk has criticized in the past — don’t appear to be affected.
Besides being incredibly petty on Musk’s part, and being an annoyance for readers, does this mean anything at all?
Well, the Post wrote, “The delay affects the t.co domain, a link-shortening service that X uses to process every link posted to the website. Traffic is routed through the middleman service, allowing X to track — and in this case throttle — activity to the target website, potentially taking away traffic and ad revenue from businesses Musk personally dislikes.”
And now for the rest of the story …
Not long after the Post story appeared online, the delays calling up stories for The New York Times and the others disappeared.
Harwell, one of the reporters on the story, tweeted, “And just like that, hours after our story first published, X has started reversing the throttling on some of the sites, including NYT’s. Here’s what it looks like.” He then posted a chart showing how the response time significantly dropped.
The Post updated its story with the change, although neither X nor Musk responded to requests for comment from the Post.
