Pete Souza was the Official Chief White House Photographer for the entire Presidency of Barack Obama.
He took over 2 MILLION photos of Obama, as well as photos of Reagan & Bush.
Today Musk suspended his account for posting this AP photo.
Free speech my ass.
@NorthernInvader One day we will find out the truth of that whole event. The more time goes by the sketchier it all is!
@Tattoomonkey29 My cynical nature says it was possibly a capsule of ketchup. There wasn't so much as a drop of blood on his shirt collar.

His hair hasn’t even been trimmed around the “2cm wound”.
Stagecraft
It looks like Mush did more than suspend Souza. At least people are reposting it with the censorship info.
Amazing. He got a call, I’d bet. Possibly a threat from Trump.
Yeah, free speech my ass is so so right.
I look forward to every self respecting company and agency as well as all professional photogs, writers, musicians, bands to stop validating X and to shut down their accounts in solidarity.
What’s it going to take? Twitter is dead, it’s been dead since it became Trump’s bullhorn in 2015. And X is just some kind of zombie aberration.
