I've watched this happen in real time to some of my friends and acquaintances my age.

So.... Twitter interfeared in elections. Interesting. I wonder who benefited? 
Actually both side have moved.
That's nice and all, but it's not what he actually has done.So.... Twitter interfeared in elections. Interesting. I wonder who benefited?
He claims he's a "free speech absolutist" but bans people for making fun of him. Yeah, ok... some absolutist he is. He's the same as the old twitter bosses, but just likes different people.

This is actuality a Republican lineal political spectrum.
The Democrat Political spectrum is circular.
That is the only way the National Sociast Party-Nazi's being slightly to the left of Democratic Socialist Party-Democrats, can become, in Democrat knodgens, Republicans.
If you say shit he doesn't like he bans you. That's fine and all since he owns it. But he can't go around claiming to be some free speech savior and then ban people who disagree or pick on him. He's the same as the old leadership, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Petty as it may be it clearly shows people being banned from making fun of musk. He's no free speech savior. You asked for examples, and those 100% are examples. He claims to be a "free speech absolutist". Those are not the actions of an absolutist.
The users didn't ban themselves.... so obviously a Musk led Twitter did go after them.

To the left.
Remember in the 90s even Bill Clinton was against gay marriage.
Now most of the people on the right are like "fine, as long as they don't demand it at my church"
Depends on the issue, but I agree that on that particular issue they moved towards the lefts position.
They were all locked. Even if it was... banning "only one" is not free speech absolutism.

Twitter 2.0 will be far more effective, transparent and even-handed.
A lib's worst nightmare. These spoiled little brats want to take their football home now.

I still maintain he’s doing this for a lark. It’s not about free speech, he only says that to tweak the noses of the left. He bought Twitter and took it private on a whim, just because he could, and is acting just like someone who bought a new toy would.
Ergo, my bank account/schlong is bigger than yours.

It's possible an algorithm if he is using one did it. However he owns and controls twitter - full stop, so its actions are now his actions. It's like when your kid breaks a souvenir in a shop, you are responsible for their actions regardless and still need to pay up. I hold the owners responsible, and that's Musk in this case.
I also wouldn't care if he banned Biden if he felt like it, ban away all you want... as long as you don't claim to be a free speech absolutist. Pick one or the other, but you can't be both.

The vast majority of issues we have moved to the left.
The Democrat heros of the past would be considered far right today.

Musk is more like a heart surgeon. He has to work on the patient, while the patient is still alive and working. you can't just turn it off, fix something and then turn it back on
Musk just bought a company with 8000 employees that HATE HIM. Granted, he's whitled that down significantly, but he still has to deal with saboteurs, and WOKE people. I find he's doing an outstanding job. Hes created transparency, which is driving the left nuts. they no longer have a platform that basically says "you agree with us or we censor you" Now, there IS FREE SPEECH, you have a right to disagree, and "he left" can't stand it

Perhaps, but maybe he initially had a whim, tried to back out, then figured what the hell, let’s just send it? I know I’ve done that with impulses before….

I'd point out that they're still "left" in truth. "Centrist" is batshit left by any real standards at this point.
