“Over the weekend we had a bug that prevented us from displaying images from before 2014. No images or data were lost. We fixed the bug, and the issue will be fully resolved in the coming days,” X’s official support account said in a post on the social media platform.

The block feature may soon go away
Elon Musk has said that he believes the blocking feature on Twitter “makes no sense” and that it should be replaced with a “stronger form of mute.” He has also said that he plans to remove the ability to block users altogether.
Musk’s comments have been met with mixed reactions. Some people agree with him that the blocking feature is too restrictive and that it can be used to silence dissenting voices. Others argue that the blocking feature is an essential tool for protecting users from harassment and abuse.
Musk also said that “Instead of blocking, I think there should be a stronger form of mute” and that he is “definitely open to ideas on how to improve the blocking/muting feature.” It remains to be seen how Musk’s plans for the blocking feature will affect Twitter users. However, Musk’s comments have certainly irked a few and chances are he might just go through with it being a “free speech absolutist” – something he refers to himself as.
It is not clear whether Musk will go ahead with his idea or not.
