Unable to search ‘Telegram’, curious Twitter users ask Elon Musk ‘what’s happening?’
Several Twitter users observed something unusual on the platform on Sunday evening when they were unable to search ‘Telegram’ on the micro-blogging site. While searches for other keywords, including social media rivals like Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok, showed results normally, the Twitter displayed ‘Invalid Query’ for search word ‘Telegram.
Meanwhile, users could see Telegram among the top trends on the micro-blogging side with 427k tweets but were unable to see any of them with a click on the trending keyword showing similar ‘unvalid search query’ messages. Several users on Twitter shared screenshots of the search not going through, tagging the both Twitter and Telegram as well as new Twitter boss Elon Musk.
Users wondered what’s wrong and asked Musk why they were unable to search for ‘Telegram’ on Twitter.
