If someone follows me, that means they’ve affirmatively expressed interest in what I have to say. How is it “spam” for me to tell them how they can continue hearing from me?

He's saying such a rule from the EU could allow spam from the companies themselves, not that these posts from advocate users would be an instance of spam.

Oh, I see. Sorry, misinterpreted that.

The word “consumer” in the rule that gatekeeper platforms must not “prevent consumers from linking up to businesses outside their platforms” has a meaning, and that meaning is, in this case, “Elon Musk is wrong”.
