    How is this redirect being done?

    Someone is talking about a wireless charging pad for a phone - Original post HERE

    Anyway, when you mouse over the link, it goes to
    Code:
    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1080840387055345664
    Yet if you click it, it takes you to an advert for the wireless charger on a different twitter account...

    So is Donald Trump now an amazon affiliate, or is it some kinda other thing? How am I arriving at an amazon affiliate ad, from the official Donald Trump account?

      You can do that by putting a javascript redirect on the anchor tag.
      <a onclick="do_redirect_to_url()" href="other_url_that_shows_in_status_bar">

      So, when the link is clicked they go to the redirect instead of the url.

      That would be my guess without looking at the actual code.

              read what you wrote before you edited, pretty sure you were right...

              the status ID is unique across all of twitter so you can link to any twitter account with a status ID and if the status ID belongs to another account, it just redirects you to that account

                  sHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- I decided to keep that private. I sent it CS in a PM.

                  Not keeping it private for any nefarious reason, just that when shit like that gets discussed in public it tends to get closed up. It is a pretty neat trick. A little grey but.......

                          Just to change the subject slightly, Poundland are doing a QI wireless charger for a fiver at the moment, I brought one a couple of days back and it's pretty good for a cheap item.
