For those who missed it, his Mastodon is: https://mas.to/@paulg
I’m guessing he got banned for posting this?

You are wrong about what PG said. In fact, his Tweet included an explanation of where to find a link to his Mastodon account. Elon has made it clear that these blatant attempts at ban evasion are not allowed.
PG’s tweet said, iirc, go to my website, it has my Mastodon link. He didn’t even mention his website, it’s on his bio. If that’s not okay to Twitter, that’s extremely interesting. Brings Apple’s App Store rules to mind.
I would love to talk to one of the people that kept saying “you all don’t understand. Musk runs billion dollar companies, he knows what he is doing. He will fix Twitter” now that this is happening. What is the grand plan now in their world view?
