On one hand: Elon Musk has clearly directly been involved in having accounts suspended in the past, because it happened when he got upset about parody accounts making fun of him.
On the other hand: there's no particular information here yet, regarding the reason why the account was banned, nor does anyone know if Elon Musk actually had anything directly to do with it. Elon Musk has a ton of fanboys who would probably continue to report and brigade such an account, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened here.
I'm surprised this struck so much of a nerve here (based on votes and the reply.) Disappointed, but I'm not going to take it personally; if you're reading this and it's somehow pissing you off, I strongly suggest spending some time away from the computer.

I upvoted your first comment because it was a decent and reasonable one. I downvoted this one because your passive aggressive swat at people who disagree with you is bullshit. If you were actually not taking it personally, you wouldn't have mentioned it at all.

Wow! I am genuinely blown away at how much you managed to unpack from that. I'm not trying to be condescending, but it's wrong.
Firstly, it's not about disagreement. Nobody posted a reply disagreeing, so I have no idea why or how someone would disagree with the post anyway. The only reply I had was agreeing with me, but I feel that response was quite hot-headed too.
Secondly, I get how "get off the computer" sounds like a "passive aggressive swat," but it's simply serious.

I'm not sure how to respond to this, but just because I didn't take it seriously does not mean I have nothing at all to say about it.
Shhhhh.. Stop trying to be reasonable. Embrace the outrage. Remember, if you and everyone around you all say the same thing it becomes true and everyone everywhere believes it
This is a thought-terminating cliche. Inventing a person to pwn instead of pushing your argument directly. It hasn't added anything to the discussion that there isn't already a dedicated button for.
