Elon Musk called himself a “free speech absolutist”, yet he doesn’t hesitate to shut down accounts that are doing things he personally
doesn’t like.

Now another prominent figure is abandoning the cesspool <https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/2/uk-culture-minister-quits-x-over-abuse-and-misinformation>.

Do you have an example of Elon shutting down an account he didn't like,
as opposed to shutting down accounts under pressure from politicians, or possibly other third parties?

Some German politicians already returned when they noticed that they
didn't get the audience anymore.

My Shitter account got shut down last week by Musk and Nikita for noticing
too many things.

Yeah but, these examples sound reasonable.

More like doxing, and impersonation. Impersonation was one of the few
things that could get you thrown of Usenet.

I'm a free speech supporter, but there are obvious limits, shouting fire
in a crowded cinema etc.

You're not convincing Musk he is like the Trumpian anti woke brigade
that wail and gnash their teeth about people being cancelled for
criticising Trans or criticising anti-racism, but when they get to power
they implement massive sanctions on people who don't support Israel enough.

Oh it’s fine, I just used the account to torture people. I got shadowbanned for my views on the Jewish genocide against the local Arabs. Then Nikita
killed my account. But I never verified or monetized. Still I’m sure the local sayanim have my number, LOL.
