Elon Musk personally banned Chad Loder from Twitter. Reported first by WaPo, now Bloomberg has confirmed with the screenshots. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-27/elon-musk-s-twitter-trust-safety-head-ella-irwin-breaks-rules-for-him?leadSource=uverify%20wall
@chadloder I am no journalist, but I also want to know who directly suspended mine and why (lol)

@chadloder gutted that I didn't the shove from the chief nut job himself.

Kudos, bro.

@chadloder Considering he let go of or drove away a large portion of the staff that would make those decisions or be available for appeals, I'm not entirely surprised that he made the choice for your suspension directly.

Now as for you being suspended... that should never have happened to begin with.

@chadloder I saw some trog on Reddit arguing (no doubt in bad faith tbh) that Musk had done nothing to indicate a right-wing bias and that the perception of such a thing was media spin.

Meanwhile he's actually doing stuff like this and reinstating overt Neo-Nazis...

@chadloder
Well, "first amendment absolutism" had one word right.
@chadloder what the fuck is a "leftist activist"?
@chadloder And yet he wanted to unban the Babylon Bee because of “free speech”.
@chadloder so, his politics are “murky” according to the NYT 🙄 Tbh, Andy NGO made him do it.🤦‍♀️
@chadloder Have no fear. Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss are on the case!
@chadloder Nothing but knee bending? Musk needs prison. Really!
@chadloder Do you have your “I was banned by a fascist billionaire man-baby and all I got was this lousy t-shirt” t-shirt yet?

@aral @chadloder

Make a design and sell them as a fund raiser. I can help with a design if you want

@chadloder that is really childish even for such a man child

@chadloder

Really what can we expect from " a platform owned by an Apartheid Afrikaner tech-bro on the payroll of Putin and Xi."

Elmo is awful. My condolences.

@chadloder I got a weeks suspension from Putin's stooge on another platform for talking about right wing bullshit. It's okay, when I get back I'm going to rat out all the racism I see. Two can play that game, freaking snowflakes ❄️.
Leaked Twitter message suggests Musk ordered leftwing account freeze

The internal message involved the account of activist Chad Loder and said: "Suspension: direct request from Elon Musk," Bloomberg reported.

@chadloder Nazis good on Twitter

@chadloder

Lets arrange a big welcome for Chad.

@chadloder @scottgal Where are the Twitter Files for this? And for the BBC doc on Modi? Sigh.
@chadloder Twitter is the Nazi platform. Thank God you’re no longer there

@chadloder
God, I'd love to know if it was Elmo personally who suspended me too.

I'd want to print and frame his termination order.

@chadloder It's beyond argument that Musk is a nutbag. And he seems to be spiraling.

@chadloder while I understand that this is a detriment to your journalism, I still want to congratulate you on getting *personally* suspended by the Chief Twit. That's an honor!

Kind of wish there were pins or patches for this: "permanently suspended by order of chief twit" with an upside down Twitter blue bird and the 3 arrows

@chadloder Was there someone who expected something different?
We don't need no stinking Twitter ;-)
@chadloder politics as usual musk apartheid Nazi supporter will ban pro democracy Americans and he calls it free speech
No Tesla
@chadloder well, he did say that Twitter would do some stupid things after he took over.

@chadloder

"Free Speech Absolutist" seems not that interested in absolute free speech.

@chadloder complete with *now negative connotation, "leftist activist". The media is 100% complicit with rw fascism.
@chadloder he paid several billion dollars to deplatform you, by name. Thats successful activism.
@chadloder we are witnessing the natzification of Twitter by musk in real time.
@chadloder
This is why I opened a Mastodon account.
@chadloder Wow, shocked that this didn't come up in the Twitter Files.
@jkfecke it’ll be in part 73631

@chadloder So the Free Speech absolutist, the darling of Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi, Joe Rogan, the "I oppose Cancel Culture" chorus is a sniveling lying cowardly hypocrite?

Glad you're here. Twitter is a sh*thole.

@chadloder thankfully it seems like carefully vetted decision based on a thoughtful corpus of animus.

Hate sinking this low… but Elon is a douche nozzle.

@chadloder But rightwingers are all about free speech, right?
@chadloder free speech absolutist…amirite?
@chadloder , Nazis and Taliban are ok
