In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram channel that is, "helping individuals earn maximum profit in the crypto market," he said. In short, the "Forbes" link leads to crypto spam

I’m sorry, what? Can you give some examples in Spanish where the letter x makes a sh sound?

xoloitzcuintle, sometimes xcaret is pronounced as shcaret (not common tho)

Neither of those words are Spanish tho. Xoloizcuintle is a náhuatl word, and Xcaret is a mayan word.
