The reaction from conservatives comes as Musk is expected to command a highly influential social media site that serves as a platform for political leaders, a sounding board for experts across industries and an information hub for millions of users.

Carlson was locked out of his account of more than 5 million followers last month after he tweeted that it was “true” to describe Levine, a transgender woman, as being a man. The Fox News host agreed with the conservative accounts for the Babylon Bee and activist Charlie Kirk, which were both suspended for calling her “man.” The Babylon Bee went so far as to call Levine its “Man of the Year” for 2022.

While the chyron on his Monday night show suggested that Musk “restored” free speech and Carlson’s account, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed to The Washington Post that Carlson was suspended for “violating the Twitter Rules on hateful conduct.” Such rules include the “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals,” according to Twitter.

On his show Monday, Carlson referenced Musk’s tweet about how the billionaire hopes “that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.” Carlson then went on to repeat the often-used argument from conservatives that big tech was allegedly stifling their free speech.

“Tucker Carlson’s social media team is implying that this has something to do with Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter but actually it’s that they just deleted the tweet for which they were suspended, which misgendered Admiral Rachel Levine,”Ari Drennen, the LGBTQ coordinator for the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America.

Why don’t we just state facts and let people decide?

What is the difference between Elon and Donald? I do not know either.

Sometime I wonder how American Elites forget that their brand like Twitter is global and not National.Any changes which accepts hate-speach,supremacist bias and politicians like Trump will not be supported by the Global Elites and various communities of the world.elonmusk
