...and it may never have been a nefarious thing but a bug related to cookies or SSL activity on links and a myriad of other complicated things. Yes, Elon sucks but unsubstantiated nonsense that shouldn't have gotten beyond that HN post.

I think it probably was some weird glitch, but I also think they decided not to fix it. Orgs and people have that weird bias, where they prefer to do things that benefits them.

My guess is, that some engineer noticed the glitch and then someone decided not to allocate time to solve it, because the CEO would be more happy if the glitch stayed the way it is.
