This is amazing. He basically said, he'd return if elon comes around, and wishes him the best. And just said "my mastodon is on my website". No violation of those new "TOS" of any kind. https://mas.to/@paulg seems to have been hugged to death already :)

To put this into perspective, here's user growth over the last few days [1]. Before Musk bought Twitter, it was often ~4k a day . Earlier today it was back down to less than 2k an hour , after a peak a bit above 4k an hour after the journalist fiasco. It's currently at 5,477 in the last hour. Before the journalist fiasco it had fallen back to ~1k/hour, and I think you need to go back to Nov 19th to find similar peaks…

If it isn't obvious this is the new norm for Twitter. Elon is making up the rules as he goes and ruling like a pissed off insecure reddit mod. I don't buy into all the freedom of speech rhetoric he has been spewing. This is about control and fueling his ego. It is a real shame because I wanted to continue using Twitter like I always have, but I don't think that will be possible.

Elon has been pretty consistent about his rules. You are either 100% loyal to him or you will be banned from the platform.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Paul was a big cheerleader for Elon. Touted his “skills” at Tesla & SpaceX. Elon kicks him off, because Dear Leader will not be criticized. Meanwhile Tesla is pile driving into the ground. I’m waiting for the FTC & the EU to weigh in on ALL of this puerile behavior by sham Tony Stark.

> sham Tony Stark "Phony Stark", maybe?
