This is a new low. Even for Elon Musk. To tell the story, let me turn to Gizmodo:
After Twitter banned the account of Qanon influencer Dom Lucre for posting “child exploitation pictures,” Elon Musk stepped in to reinstate him.
On Wednesday morning Twitter—recently rebranded by Musk as X—banned Lucre, a right-wing conspiracy theorist with over half a million followers. The move sparked protest from X’s rage-fueled conservatives and even some criticism from users on the left. X doesn’t always publish the reasoning behind account takedowns, but Musk tweeted an explanation in response to a user calling for transparency.
“I’m told that this account was suspended for posting child exploitation pictures associated with the criminal conviction of an Australian man in the Philippines,” Musk tweeted, posting a link to a story on the subject. “Only people on our CSE team have seen those pictures. For now, we will delete those posts and reinstate the account.”
So let me get this straight. Elon stepped in personally to reinstate the account of someone who posted child porn. That’s straight up sickening. And it shows you what kind of person Elon Musk is. That alone should make anyone who for whatever reason is still on Twitter, or X, or whatever Elon calls his failing social media platform this week run for the exits. Because if you personally allow someone who posts child porn to stay on the platform, it’s not a safe place for anyone with a conscience .
