New Delhi: Tesla CEO and a party in a legal dispute with Twitter, Elon Musk, recently said that his tweets are being suppressed. Musk has tagged Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal as well as the verified official Twitter account to address his issue. Although his Twitter handle has not changed, Musk’s Twitter name has been changed to “Notius Maximus”. Only 3,000 to 5,000 people liked some of the tweets from the Tesla CEO, who has more than 105 million followers on Twitter. At that time he realized that very few people are seeing his tweets.
“My tweets are being suppressed. Please fix,” Musk wrote on Twitter. Despite the fact that his earlier tweets did not receive the same level of attention as usual, the above tweet garnered over 44,000 likes. Even when he uses emoji, Musk’s tweets get over a million likes and retweets, so it’s highly unlikely that his recent tweets will fail to gain traction on Twitter. However, some of his most recent tweets are getting only 3000 likes. Musk’s tweet did not elicit any response from Twitter’s support page or its CEO Parag Agarwal.
Notably, Musk is currently involved in a legal dispute with Twitter, as a result of his exit from the $44 billion deal. Interestingly, Musk claims that Twitter censored his tweets after shareholders approved the acquisition of Musk’s business.
Musk pulled out of Twitter’s $44 billion purchase, claiming that doing so would save civilization. Even those who were previously banned from Twitter, like former US President Donald Trump, were also given a chance to join the platform. Musk criticized some of Twitter’s top executives, including Vijaya Gadde, on social media after the company’s purchase was announced. But two months later, Musk announced that he had lost interest in Twitter because, in his opinion, the social media platform had misled him about the amount of bots and spam. Twitter is currently suing Musk over the enforcement of the purchase agreement he entered into with the website.
