It’s probably nothing.

Why does EVERY article contain links to Twitter?
Seriously. Journalists, do something besides scroll Twitter!
I thought the Great Exodus from xitter was a matter of critical mass not yet being attained. Enough readers have to be elsewhere to get journalists elsewhere.
No, I think it's just lazy journalists not learning new tools like Bluesky.
The only news in that story was that someone tweeted something. That is lazy. They were successful in stealing the clicks from the actual reporter.
Here is the thing. As of last week, Elon marks news that makes Trump look bad as spam (see NPR’s coverage of the Arlington Cemetery debacle).
So now the news stories not marked as spam are the news stories that are “Elon Approved”.
Why are any self respecting journalists still on Twitter hoping to publish things that Elon deems not to be spam.
I enjoyed that very brief period when Elon blocked being able to view an embedded tweet at all without logging into twitter, before they changed it to how it is now, where you can only see that one tweet but no replies, etc.
Just for that week or however long it lasted, I was so hopeful that we'd reached the end of this kind of shoddy "journalism" ("Look, here are some tweets I saw today that are kind of related to the subject of this article's click-bait title").
Right? I hate accidentally giving Twi(not X)tter my clicks
Investigative journalism has just become scrolling social media online because nobody answers the phone or their door to give comments in person to the media. That's why I just post stupid, silly shit. I'm like that guy behind the "on the scene" reporter making faces and wrecking the shot.
