I can confirm. NYT shows a five-second redirect delay: "wget https://t.co/4fs609qwWt ". It redirects to gov.uk immediately: "wget https://t.co/iigzas6QBx "
I almost didn't believe OP, because it's so comically inept and petty. But, I can also confirm in some private testing there is a deliberate delay.
This is precisely why I did believe OP. This is Elon Musk we're talking about.
The speed at which enshitification is being unleashed surprises me each and every day.
Enshitification is different. It’s when companies destroy a product with hundreds of changes that prioritise internal politics above what end users want. This is something else - just the ego of one rich guy petulantly satisfying his inner demons.

Your poor unintentional choice of words (hopefully) makes it sound like left-wing propaganda and hate is something worthy of being promoted.
Do hope you don't mean it this way.
you could maybe show some testing? if that's true, then it should be measurable
