Mr Musk's jet "flew from LA to Austin last night after my account was suspended on Twitter," he said in an Instagram post on Wednesday.

that what an asshole move looks like, you should pay him 44 billion...

Anyone would think that Twitter was any more than a social media platform.

hmm interesting and btw his company hit a new two year low $tsla

All jet tracking info is publicly availaible on aircraft tracking sites. You have a jet, it is tracked, unless it's military.

It is stalking, not free speech, twisted story.

Only?

The ridiculous $7,500 fake claim is something a tabloid might fall for, but SBS?

It’s fair enough with the democrats having a target on his head now he is exposing all of their corruption, lies and cover ups.

This is the first time that SBS makes an article about twitter moderation policies.

SBS hides the fact that there are war crimes against captured soldiers not just by Russia but Ukraine. Amnesty does. Alzaj. reported on it. looks as you are supposed to be anti racist you censorship news about Azov batallion and other Nazis influential in Ukraine gov. Hypocrites

And we are upset, or what about that?

Missing a few zeroes at the end there, I think. PoveroElon

SBS news is biased and does not present the perspective of people in the Donbass who have been bombed attacked by Ukranian gov. Hypocrisy

This must be the 'free speech absolutism' we were promised.

You’re pathetic. Anything on the media suppressing news to sway elections? Asking for a friend.

Honestly, seems reasonable for someone with the kind of security concerns that Elon would have

Not a horse?

Mr free speech did it anyway.

Ahh, chump change. Surely Ewrong could spare a few million or so :)

Probably all he can spare

would've done it for $20k and then just made a new account with a VPN

They should think themselves lucky he didn’t offer them a pony…

Elon Musk loudly booed on stage at Dave Chappelle showDave Chappelle asked the crowd at his comedy show to “make some noise for the richest man in the world”. They did. Lots of booing. Left wing media condones hate when it’s directed at someone who holds an alternative view to them.

‘Clearly showed their displeasure’: Elon Musk booed at Dave Chappelle’s comedy gigSky News Business Reporter Edward Boyd says the world’s richest man has been booed at a Dave Chappelle comedy gig in San Francisco overnight when Elon Musk was introduced by the comedian. “The crowd in San Fran clearly showed their displeasure,” he said. Who gives a shit! In San Francisco!! Probably booed by pedos who had their pics and taken away since YoelTheGroomer got fired. The lefts still a bit salty about the twitter takeover and free speech being restored for all. They lost their platform to shout down or censor opinions they don't like.

Elon Musk booed after being brought onstage by Dave ChappelleThe Twitter CEO and 'world's richest man' gets a cold reception onstage with comedian Dave Chappelle, with loud booing heard echoing around San Francisco's Chase Center. Was there so many paedophiles in the crowd? Unbelievable. Why no reporting on the Twitter files being released but then this? Doesn’t support your narrative but this does hey. Taxpayer funded gaslighting by the ABC. the woke audience, like the ABC, doesn't like free speech

Crowd boos Elon Musk after Dave Chappelle says to ‘make some noise’At a stage appearance Sunday with comedian Dave Chappelle, the audience made their disapproval of the new Twitter owner known LOL. Same thing happened with Tina Arena. The gen-pop have had it up to dolly's wax with RWNJs I think I'm at the booing phase. TL;DR The soylent-fueled adult children are still unhappy he goes against the grain.

Media has characterised Elon Musk as ‘some bad guy’Comedian Alex Stein says Elon Musk being booed by an audience in San Francisco is probably because of the way the media has characterised him as “some bad guy”. “I like Elon – is he our hero? No. Did he deserve this sort of reaction? Probably not,” Mr Stein told Sky News host Rowan Dean. Media owners faces should be shown as they decide on what we see and don't see Or it could be that 'Tesla hit by new lawsuit alleging racial abuse against Black workers' in San Francisco 'Comedian Alex Stein...' Does anyone have a clip of him being funny?
