I'd like to invoke Hanlon's razor here to at least cut down on the potential for over-the-top reactions that can be somewhat embarassing in retrospect:

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Or both

This is a case where Occam's Razor trumps Hanlon's Razor.

Absolutely not applicable to corporations. Bad faith actions are rampant, and I am unwilling to give the benefit of the doubt to billion dollar companies.

How about incompetence instead of stupidity, would that apply to many billion dollar companies?

Oh yes, there is definitely a lot of that around!

Not applicable when dealing with people who have narcissistic personality disorder like musk. Would be naive to assume stupidity.

if I had to guess: ugly synchronous code for statistics that hits a dead shard for the target domain and times out.

Hanlon's razor needs to be inverted when the person you're talking about has NPD. The assumption should be that there are sinister intentions until proven otherwise. You'll make better predictions about reality if you do that inversion.

I believe the two are interchangeable within the Hanlon's Razor definition anyway.
