Anastasia Maria Loupis, known for her far-right commentary on X, experienced a dramatic decrease in views after criticizing Elon Musk. While Musk claimed to support free speech, the treatment of dissenting voices on the platform suggests otherwise. Several users who criticized him saw their reach diminish significantly, leading to concerns that Musk selectively amplifies certain voices while silencing others. This behavior contradicts his stated commitment to free speech, sparking backlash from advocates worried about his influence and political ambitions.
"Don't sit here and cloak yourself in the First Amendment and free speech, and then do things like that," said Ari Cohn, emphasizing the contradictions in Musk's approach.
The New York Times found three users on X who feuded with Mr. Musk in December only to see their reach on the social platform practically vanish overnight.
