X (Twitter) has experienced issues with posts published before December 2014 that contain images or hyperlinks converted using its own built-in URL shortened. It’s not clear when the problem started, but a couple of high-profile users have put a spotlight on the problem.
By Monday, X’s official support account said that they have already “fixed the bug, and the issue will be fully resolved in the coming days.”

It is said that even one of the most popular tweets (as they are called before the rebranding) ever was not spared from the glitch. It was the selfie posted by 2014 Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres, together by renowned celebrities like Merryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, and more, taken during the broadcast of the said event.
The post instantly became the “most retweeted ever” with over 2.8 million shares as of today. The said post has already been restored around Saturday night.
