> I'm likely to believe this explanation rather than Musk personally hitting the "suspend" button on stuff he doesn't like.

It’s amazing to me that despite despite several data points showing Musk would be capable of doing this, people are still giving him the benefit of the doubt.

That’s the power of personal branding.

Oh I'm not saying I agree with the banning, I'm just saying he would have someone write an algorithm to do it to save time.

Man sits up late every night shitposting and firing people on his new $44B social network, yet no way he’s sitting there banning people because they were mean to him. Utterly inconceivable!

I don't know that it has to be "benefit of the doubt", really. He's fired 2/3 of the company, it's very easy to imagine bugs not being caught before they reach production.

It's not because of branding, it's because he could do it himself. It's just unnecessarily complex. It's annoying to be accused of falling for branding if you do anything but automatically assume the absolute worst at all times. That kind of rhetoric makes any discussions about musk thoroughly annoying

Why would he need an algorithm?

Do wealthy people not have assistants?

"Smithers, ban those guys making fun of me!"
