Does AOC own her own jet? If not, you're just trying really hard to make two things that are not the same, the same in your mind. The rest of us are looking at each other with raised eyebrows intimating "what's this about?"

"If the same thing was happening"

It's a hypothetical. Swap the word "Elon" with "AOC".

There are multiple issues here and people can be upset about some while not being upset about all of them. Musk specifically Saif he would not ban the account that reports on his jets location. He then changed his mind and the account was banned. Journalists reported the ban and were themselves banned for their reporting.

Personally, while I think banning the jet location account is hypocritical I don't have a serious problem with it. I do have a problem with banning journalists reporting on the ban.
