It looks like Musk is re-inventing the wheel of community moderation with a bias in his favour.
So gone is the "anything legal goes, free speech absolutism", now jokes need to be labeled as jokes because comedy is legal on Twitter but only within the guidelines of Elon Musk.
These people getting banned for making their name Elon Musk were not defrauding anybody, a well known comedian wasn't pretending to be Musk and making people send crypto or buy stocks.
They were making comedy or a performance art, they being banned is like going around and locking down people who impersonate other people for laughs or satire as if they were stealing identity to drain out the bank account of Musk.
Its very dystopian. As I said before, most "free speech absolutists" are actually free speech NIMBYs and Elon Musk seems to be no exception.
