Elon Musk, executive chairman and chief technology officer of X (formerly Twitter), has faced criticism for suspending XRP-related accounts.

Crypto Eri, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency community, contacted Elon Musk directly on X, asking for clarification on whether the account suspension was a mistake.

The account in question – Digital Asset Investor.XRP – was recognized for its outspoken advocacy of XRP (XRP), an asset on the XRP Ledger blockchain. There have long been various controversies and legal disputes surrounding XRP, notably a lawsuit by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claiming that XRP is an unregistered security.

However, XRP has maintained a staunch group of supporters who remain optimistic about its future. Digital Asset Investor.XRP is a space for XRP enthusiasts to exchange information and opinions and engage in conversations about the cryptocurrency.

While some defended Musk, suggesting the suspension was a precautionary measure to ward off potential scammers, the lack of any response from X officials fueled speculation.

Responding to someone suggesting that the suspension was a measure to deter scammers, Crypto Eri remains convinced that the account’s suspension was unjust:

"I've always done my part to stand up for the truth. Even if I'm called the crypto police or part of cancel culture. That's not fun. I have empathy because he built an entire channel using the X platform,"

The controversy, which has drawn the attention of prominent industry advocates such as pro-XRP attorney John Deaton, now surrounds whether the suspension was an isolated incident or marked a resurgence of censorship within the X community.

Meanwhile, a recent report revealed the ongoing SEC investigation into Musk. The investigation focuses on whether Musk violated federal securities regulations related to his stock acquisition and subsequent statements and documents related to X's acquisition.
