So Aaron Rupar's twitter account has apparently been reinstated. But it seems Linette Lopez's - suspended for daring to expose Transvaal Trump's hypocrisy - has not been.

And meanwhile I simply do not understand this attitude.

It's like declaring "My favorite restaurant was bought out by a fascist who turned it into 'The Nazi Club.' But I refuse to leave! I'm going to stay and fight for my favorite restaurant!"

Maybe the lesson here is that massive public dependence on a single private business is a bad idea?

@RationalLeft It was all Musk's idea of a publicity stunt. Ban loads of journalists and you can bet they'll all write about it. Which they did. Cue more Musk column inches. He's a media whore. He probably can't even remember who he banned, much less why.

@Florence Perhaps. But all publicity is not in fact good publicity.

It's also entirely possible that he fully intended to ban anyone who criticized him but is now panicking about the looming European sanctions he never stopped to think about.

@RationalLeft It’s like the car accident you can’t tear you eyes from or thinking the Kardashians are actually important. I left the day Elon took over. Not into the hi-jinx and drama.
