>It seems like a good rule,

I don't know - it doesn't seem consistently applied Donie O’Sullivan published a tweet containing a statement from the LAPD and was banned; and personally I don't see it being upheld once Elon's fixation on this story wanes.

Furthermore, it just seems that Elon is doing what he accused Twitter of doing for so long; enacting arbitrary rules to silence political opponents. It's his site and he's free to ban who he wants but does he see the cognitive dissonance of how he's running the site?

He doesn't suffer cognitive dissonance.

His reality distortion field prevents him from feeling that.

Being the smartest man on the planet means you can make the mental leaps to see that was them and this is him so it is totally different.

No, he enjoys cognitive dissonance.

Well, what Twitter was doing

Was it capriciously banning journalists that said anything the CEO found offensive? That’s what he’s doing, and I really, really don’t think that’s what twitter was doing.
