Banning people who made fun of him also went against the whole free speech thing.

      "This is likely a fake suspension e-mail made to look as a joke. Actual suspension e-mails include a date of the Tweet." https://twitter.com/EliErlick/status/1598011331658948609?s=20&t=61bOd_X_Ngpel9hsjVMNAw https://twitter.com/EliErlick/status/1598011331658948609?s=2...

        “Look as a joke”, you say. Seems like there’s multiple levels of trolling going on there… the “clarification” was added by readers, and the “link that contains an example of a Twitter suspension email“ links to the New York Post.

        Considering Eli Erlick continued to make new tweets on November 30th and even December 1st, it doesn't look to me like he was ever suspended.

  I've seen multiple people claim they've been banned for simply disagreeing with him in replies. Of course it could just be people clout chasing. I haven't seen any clear evidence, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's true.

To be entirely fair it was in twitter TOS before acquisition that comedy account should be clearly marked and that putting that info in the bio is not enough. Just that Twitter didn't exactly consistently enforce it. So sure the bans were just sad rich man being offended but they were still technically breaking TOS

Just that Twitter didn't exactly consistently enforce it. The idea that Elon HAD to ban those people because of the TOS created by the previous ownership is absolutely hilarious.
