Accident? Twitter needs to fix their infrastructure if so.

Facebook removed those two corresponding posts first; Twitter got backlash for not doing so, and they then followed suit.
Twitter initially gave those Tweets a special footnote and restrictions

"This claim of election fraud is disputed, and this Tweet can’t be replied to, Retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence"

But they must have realised that admitting the posts are likely to stoke violence while not removing them was a bad look

Intentional. Trump should have left twitter months ago and went to parler instead
