It is the successor to the Twitter bot of the same name that Musk blocked, which was suspended on Thursday, and at the same time one of the fastest growing Reddit forums.

Musk only relented on Saturday after banning the Twitter accounts of several American journalists. Musk then conducted a poll on whether the journalists should be released again. “The people have spoken,” the billionaire posted on his short message service. “The accounts that gave my whereabouts have been unbanned.” The official account of the competing platform Mastodon is also available again.

The blockade drew international criticism, with even UN Secretary General António Guterres saying he was “very disturbed.” Musk is setting a “dangerous precedent” at a time when journalists around the world face “censorship, physical harm and even worse,” Guterres said. Musk actually sees himself as a radical defender of the right to free speech.
