Well account is now suspended so I guess you were "made to leave"

Elon is so incredibly thin-skinned that he's burning bridges with anyone who dares to not agree with him even once. First Bari Weiss, now Paul Graham. Paul clearly stated here & on Mastodon that he still believes in Elon Musk. This is classic self-sabotage of a deranged dictator.

  What do you think the odds are that elon did it or even knew about it?

    My own personal sense tells me no employee/subordinate would carry out such abrupt and drastic actions without explicit approval from above, no matter how much they want to please their boss. I could be wrong though. Unfollowing Bari Weiss and suspending Paul Graham over very minor disagreements they voiced seems like a very personal & impulsive decision that I don't see why anyone besides Elon himself decided on it.

I could be wrong though. outside of a very small bubble no one knows who PG is and I promise you his twitter status account doesn't matter if it was breaking the rules. Go ask your mother if she knows who elon musk, bill gates, steve jobs, and paul graham are/were. No one outside of computer science/business people looking for VC know who he is.

        I'm not sure what your point here is. Paul Graham is a notable user in the context of Twitter based on his follower count, user interactions, and legacy verified checkmark. Any employee handling the suspension of accounts would've noticed this is not some random spam bot or edgy no-name. They would not have done that autonomously without Musk's personal directives.

        Conjecture and nonsense. twitter isn't asking the owner about banning accounts
