When Elon Musk took over Twitter, there was great hope and enormous expectations. Indeed, when Tucker Carlson was unceremoniously "booted" from Fox News by the uber-woke and Leftist Australian Murdochs, he began posting at Twitter, which some of us earnestly thought constituted "progress." But not anymore.
The same prejudiced Leftist hacks who were running Twitter before Musk, seem to be making the decisions today. For example, if one posts a response to someone else's Tweet—about traitors at the highest levels of the corrupt Biden administration—and cites applicable law (including the U.S. Constitution) justifying the response, the person is suspended in a blatant attempt to silence conservative voices.
The Twitter/X goons have the same agenda and mindset that they had before Musk came on board: to discriminate against Trump and MAGA supporters, in the guise of enforcing Twitter's rules. Tragically, the only change at Twitter today is that it is now called "X." Otherwise, the discrimination remains the same. Trump and MAGA supporters are attacked and not welcome. Will X be boycotted like Fox News, Bud Light and Disney? Time will tell.

Seems that the difference is people can say what ever they want on Twitter (or rather X). That applies to both sides.
The comment was deleted!
You can always test it out yourself by insulting Trump on X and seeing what happens :) Put you rmoney where your mouth is.
Or insult Elon Musk - that always seems to result in a suspension.
My friend got suspended recently for making negative comments about Trump, so it works both ways.
