"As best I can tell, it happened this way: On Tuesday, I got an email from X. My initial reaction was WTF; but I also vaguely wondered whether it had something with the newsletter I had published the day before: Elon Musk's Racist Screed-Storm by Charlie Sykes Yesterday, I got two more emails from the folks at X: The first said that I had violated X's copyright policy and linked to the picture of Musk from Monday's post. Before I had a chance to respond, I got another missive, telling me that my email had been changed to an obviously phony one, and that I should secure my account. By the time I tried to secure' the account, I was locked out and every post from the Trump 2.0 era was erased. I mean, just vanished."
"So this is what it looks like now, with the latest post dated November 2, 2024 just days before the election, Sykes continued while sharing a screenshot of his account reflecting the purge of his posts. Screenshot via Substack The article Sykes published on Elon Musk documented the X owner's rabid dive into white supremacy, which he noted has taken place in broad daylight but in recent months has largely gone ignored."
"Sykes explained he tried to regain control of his account with some 350,000 followers, but then"
A conservative radio host and Never Trump figure was locked out of his X account and had recent posts temporarily purged. He reported receiving an email from X, followed by additional emails claiming a copyright policy violation tied to an image used in a prior post. Before he could respond, another message claimed his email had been changed to a phony address and instructed him to secure his account. When he attempted to secure the account, he was locked out and posts from the Trump 2.0 era were erased. He shared screenshots showing the account with the latest post dated November 2, 2024. He also linked the incident to his coverage of Elon Musk’s posts about race and white supremacy.
