Possibly in response to their tweet about the @elonjet account on Mastodon. Banning someone for talking about or linking to something that would break rules if it were on Twitter seems contrary to the variant of free speech Elon Musk claimed to support pre-Twitter purchase.

Twitter faces no real threat from Mastodon until they streamline their sign up process and mask the "decentralized server" nonsense. I understand that the people here don't see it as nonsense, but the millions of less tech savvy users needed to make it a true Twitter alternative do see it that way and it will prevent Mastodon from ever being more than a niche service. It's a baffling process to the everyday user who has signed up for dozens of different services over the years with a simple email and password (if not single sign on).

This rationale is so silly that I agree it's the likely answer.

I think elonjet also has a sub on reddit. Will reddit links be banned from twitter soon? Any website that mentions elonjet? lol

Curious as to how many people manage to sign up for email addresses across a variety of providers despite all that decentralised server nonsense.
