That's a common Twitter bug, just try again a few times.
Alternatively, replace twitter.com in the URL with nitter.net. It points to an alternative client.

For traversing a DAG you probably still would to avoid exploring an exponential number of paths (consider a chain of diamonds [1]). 1: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/A-diamond-shaped-DAG_fig...
But a diamond cannot occur in a Twitter-reply graph, right? It would require a Tweet to be able to reply to more than one tweet.
Interesting, I wondered if the same can be done on hn. Likely easier since the IDs appear to be sequential. But one can simply edit their post to point to the URL too if they wanted, so it defeats the fun of the exercise.
On a related note, from 2012: “Show HN: This up votes itself” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3742902
It seems like Twitter knows not to show the quoted tweet in this case, but I wonder if it would show it if it were a 2-cycle.

Only one of the two shows, as expected it only shows if the ID of the quoted tweet is smaller than that of the tweet itself.
This also means that in general, you can't quote a non-existing future tweet hoping it'll be something cool in the future. Well you can but the preview won't work.
A bit annoying that Twitter's quote tweet UI sort of breaks. Maybe two mutually recursive tweets would show up better :)
They also break https://twitter.com/mauritscorneIis/status/12668346972560875...

sure, if you want to give your twitter credentials to some random company based in the caribbean.

Or the software just doesn't handle it.
Why the speculation from you and the parent? You can literally click on the Tweet and see that it works fine.
The parent and grandparent are speculating because it works for them but not for others here.
