Twitter's Threads: From Musk's Criticism to Doubtful Future

Twitter's search function is reportedly limiting search results for tweets containing links to its competitor, Threads, following Elon Musk's criticism of the platform. While the "URL:" search operator still works for other websites, it does not yield results for Threads links. There is a workaround by searching "URL:threads net" with a space between the words, but it is not user-friendly. It remains unclear whether this limitation is intentional or a bug. Musk has been vocal about his criticism of Threads and Mark Zuckerberg, accusing the platform of copying Twitter and stealing employees and trade secrets. Threads, on the other hand, has seen rapid growth, surpassing 100 million users within its first five days.
