Donie O'Sullivan (CNN) was banned for this tweet, which said nothing about anyone's location: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FkEaofdXEAYRac0?format=jpg&name=...

I wonder how long it'll be before Musk starts remotely shutting down the Teslas of people who say things about him that he doesn't like.

Why do you think he was banned for that tweet?

I believe that was their last tweet before being banned. Do you have a more likely tweet for causing the ban?

I'm annoyed by everyone just making things up that they find ideologically convenient. I'm annoyed when Elon does it, I'm annoyed when his enemies do it.

Now that would be a perfect case for a lawsuit. I mean, Elon probably will do it anyway, but he will get reined in by the courts. Time for him to learn he's not above the law after all.
