According to NBC News, tech billionaire Musk is facing scrutiny from American conservatives after several prominent right-wing accounts that criticized Musk's immigration views reported that they were subsequently unable to use advanced features of Musk's social media platform 'X'. An investigation revealed that at least 14 conservative accounts indicated on Thursday or Friday evening that X revoked their 'blue V verification', stripping them of access to various premium features, including monetization through subscriptions and ad revenue sharing. Some accounts claimed that the number of affected accounts is far greater than these. Some conservatives stated that they believe X's actions represent Musk's betrayal, as he is 'secretly banning' his conservative critics. Musk acquired Twitter, now 'X', in 2022 partly because he believed Twitter unfairly restricted conservative speech. Since then, Musk has claimed to be an 'advocate for free speech'. (Jinshi)
