Musk supporter here, downvoted proof here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33985682

I’m in agreement with all of you.

This is some BS that goes against all the ideals of an open internet. He’s not just being petty by banning competitors, he’s banning link aggregators. A lot of them are used for organizing political movements or needed for running a business.

This move means he doesn’t understand social media. Banning PG without even a link? That’s just icing on an authoritarian cake.

Apparently all Elon cares about is usage so hopefully this policy causes a huge drop. I have hope that he’ll quickly reverse course.



Seems like its going to be a bit late - what better way to promote your competition than acknowledging it and banning it? Just streisanded himself.
