It's funny that Musk and other right-wingers think that this way, they'll win the Culture War.
To me Musk is more like a Tump - it isn't anything to do with politics or any underlying ideology - it's all personal.

This was interesting. Alex Wagner, MSNBC, interviewed Linette Lopez, a columnist for Business Insider who had her Twitter account suspended today.
Musk sounds very similar to Trump as far as being a spoiled narcissist goes.

The IRS doesn't allow you to report a loss for a hobby.is is possible he is planning to use twitter as a writeoff so he pays no taxes for the next 10 years?
Early this morning Musk tweeted: “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci”
To which Marjorie Taylor Greene replied “I affirm your pronouns Elon.”
This saddens me. What the hell happens to people?
I own a Telsa and applaud what he’s managed in the EV sphere, but Lord I hope Tesla can disassociate itself from him post haste.
On Sunday, entrepreneur Elon Musk called for your prosecution, claiming that you lied to Congress and funded research that killed millions of people. How do you respond to the tweets?
I don’t pay attention to that, Max, and I don’t feel I need to respond. I don’t tweet. I don’t have a Twitter account. A lot of that stuff is just a cesspool of misinformation, and I don’t waste a minute worrying about it.
Do you feel that your safety is at risk, given Musk’s enormous reach on Twitter?
Of course it’s at risk. That’s why I have armed federal agents with me all the time. That stirs up a lot of hate in people who have no idea why they’re hating — they’re hating because somebody like that is tweeting about it.
Elon Musk says he is taking legal action against the holder of a Twitter account that tracks his private jet, arguing it put his son at risk.
The @ElonJet account, which has more than half a million followers, was suspended on Wednesday.
Its owner Jack Sweeney, 20, used publicly available flight-tracking information to tweet every time Mr Musk's jet took off and landed.
Mr Musk says legal action is now being taken against Mr Sweeney and others.
"Last night, car carrying [his son] lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving and climbed onto hood," he tweeted.
He added that any account revealing people's real-time locations will be suspended "as it is a physical safety violation".

We have reached the peak of Mt. Stupid.
You can now get banned for mentioning your instagram handle. Not even the link. Just mentioning it.
In one sense I am not surprised. Why would you allow people to post links to your competitors?We have reached the peak of Mt. Stupid.

On the other hand, I think it means a lot of people will now leave Twitter because they can no longer promote their other social media sites on it. These people are probably the ones with the most followers. On balance, I think this is another footman moment.

I get a loading error when trying to look at the specific webpage but some people have taken screenshots. Looks like even at the tweet level you cannot post your username on other sites even if you don’t use your URL.
I feel real bad for anyone who actually fell for the "Musk promotes free speech" line.
I wonder how long my atheist group account will be allowed to link out to other social media sites:

Links to Mastodon and Mastodon profiles are hotlinks, but instead, they give you this warning.
I reported that for doxxing Elon Musk, he takes those things very seriously.![]()
I agree it is misguided. Most of the sites listed in the ban are not direct competitors and I suspect that, for many of Twitter’s most active users, this rule decreases Twitter’s utility for them which means they’ll leave and advertising on Twitter becomes less attractive.That's specious, though. Twitter is not the only for-profit social media platform but to date it is the only one that has suddenly found it necessary to blanket-prohibit general mentions of other social media sites in this manner. Clearly the balance of internet social media companies do not consider the situation to be a "competitor" dynamic in the traditional sense.
I stand corrected. FlightAware returns this: “This aircraft (N628TS) is not available for live public tracking due to European government data rules.”
Weird, because the prefix “N” means it’s US registered.
But I must assume there are ways around this.

Not sure I get this doxxing thing. This seems to be a common definition:
“Doxxing (also spelled doxing) is the act of revealing someone's personal information online. Doxxing is a form of online harassment that means publicly exposing someone's real name, address, job, or other identifying data.”
How exactly does this apply to a public figure? If a reporter reports “We have on good information that Kamala Harris is headed to the Souther Border Thursday, possibly with a stop a El Paso to visit a refugee center there.” Is that doxxing? Once you know Elon’s plane’s N number*, it’s trivially easy to track it on a program such as FlightAware. All the banned fellow did was aggregate readily available public information. That doesn’t seem like “doxxing” to me.

Musk has put up a new poll asking if he should step down as head of Twitter.

What makes you think he pays taxes now?is is possible he is planning to use twitter as a writeoff so he pays no taxes for the next 10 years?
