BREAKING: Elon Musk Goes on X SUSPENSION SPREE of Prominent Lefties, Journalists
Jordan Chariton breaks down the suspension of The Intercept's Ken Klippenstein, Texas Observer special correspondent Steven Monacelli, and popular podcast @TrueAnonPod
UPDATE 12:13 am eastern: It appears after major public pushback, “X” reinstated the accounts of Klippenstein and others it had suspended hours earlier.
i am not what one might consider “prominent,” but i am a dedicated, lifelong socialist, and had been posting regularly about palestine on twitter before and after that whole horrific genocide began. my twitter account that i had since april of 2009 was suspended a couple weeks ago. i tried and tried to get it reinstated, but sadly, to no avail. so, i’ve had to start from scratch, creating a brand new account; but all those many years worth of memories, amazing posts, and friends are gone and it won’t ever be the same (i have been migrating over to instagram and threads, however). musk is definitely going to squelch voices that are anti-capitalist and anti-apartheid, considering he has STRONG ties to israel (i very recently read that he and the government of israel had created some sort of authentication process for twitter, which of course is super suss and worrisome, security and privacy-wise) and his south african, white supremacist, apartheid roots.
