No one is questioning his right to ban people. People are pointing it out because it exposed both hour thin skinned he is and what hypocritical BS his “free speech” utterances are.
You're responding to a thread with evidence that a Twitter VP targeted an account that Elon has previously shown interest in. Next you'll tell me that Nixon didn't know anything.
When people make leaps of logic regarding a wide assortment of things, we call it what it is: a conspiracy theory, lacking evidence, and false. Likely later it will turn out to be true, but it isn't yet, so we are obligated to frame it this way to fight the spread of misinformation. This thread is full of people who have a hypocritical stance on this approach to information sharing. I just wish they'd be consistent.
But there is evidence. Even if we are the most generous and say Elon himself did not know about this, do you really believe a VP would take this action if they don't believe it is what their boss wishes? Take the other example I posted further up thread [1], Musk asked Andy Ngo directly "what are the accounts we should look at" and after that a bunch of the accounts get banned. Yes Musk did likely not press the ban button himself, but the evidence is overwhelming that he supports and initiated these actions.
