Twitter under new CEO has suspended the account of online database provider PlainSite and its founder Aaron Greenspan, who is a known Tesla and Elon Musk critic.
According to IANS at the time of the suspension, the PlainSite account had over 24,000 listed Twitter followers, while Greenspan had about 2,500.
The account suspension falls under the purview of new Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, who recently stated in a memo, “You should have the freedom to speak your mind.” We should all.”
Musk tweeted in April of last year, “I hope that even my harshest critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.”
The company, however, has now suspended the accounts of its most vocal critic.
“PlainSite began its focused research on Tesla in 2018, after the US Securities and Exchange Commission charged Musk and Tesla with civil securities fraud,” according to the report.
“I was not interested in Tesla until the SEC took action against the company and Elon that year.” “That got me thinking that it might be overpriced, given that it was having problems with financial regulators,” Greenspan was quoted as saying.
Since 2018, Greenspan has made court filings and other public records about Twitter and Tesla available on PlainSite.
Musk sued Greenspan in February 2023 for publishing correspondence between the two on Twitter and PlainSite.
