Billionaire Tesla CEO and Trump ally Elon Musk allegedly pressured the CEO of social media platform Reddit to stifle users criticizing him or President Donald Trump, leaving platform moderators furious.
They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours
I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.
Reddit is solidly shitlib. They easily get more upset over policy than their own lack of influence over policy. These are people who think the elites care about petitions.
Everything from the last year pointed to this, they just had to see it.
That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.

If they didn’t leave after all the crap Reddit has pulled in the last year, they aren’t going anywhere.

I did. I got banned for “Musk fuming is fatally toxic”. The platform is dead now. I bet he has good dirt on Huffman.
