    Yeah cuz musk is on Russia’s side and Russia is the one flooding the platform with bots. It doesn’t have to be conspiratorial levels of stuff, in another article they literally said it was an automated action due to reports. So Russia bots mass reported, it got removed, then someone at Twitter (probably not musk) reinstated the account after receiving a message about it.

      Musk is not on Russia’s side. I’m against such definition. He is on Putin’s side.

        That’s a great point. Sorry for insinuating that all of Russia agrees with putins policies.
