    Musk hates public bus systems. Twitter 2.0 is simply insane.

    Twitter Bans DC Bus System, Brings Back the Guy Everyone Thinks Is Q
    Musk's barrage of reinstatements includes Ron Watkins, the alleged Q in QAnon.

    As Twitter CEO Elon Musk continues to ban and reinstate whoever the hell he wants, an unlikely victim has fallen into his crosshairs: The Washington DC Bus system. At the same time, the company reinstated Ron Watkins, the rumored leader of QAnon.


    Elon Musk has a bone to pick with transportation-related Twitter accounts. A report in the Washington Post revealed that the Twitter account for the Washington DC bus system, which went by @Metrobusinfo, was suspended without a reason. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority spokesperson Ian Jannetta had no comment for the Post but told the outlet that Twitter was not responding to their inquiries on the ban. The broader DC Metro transportation account addressed the suspension on Twitter and directed riders to the Metro’s official webpage to stay abreast of any alerts.

    “Currently our @metrobusinfo account is suspended,” Metro said on Twitter. “We’re working to get this restored for our bus customers. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

    Concurrently, Twitter has reinstated rumored QAnon leader Ron Watkins, who goes by @CodeMonkeyZ. Watkins was permanently banned from the social media platform in January 2021 alongside Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, and other accounts tied to QAnon. Twitter said to NBC News at the time that Watkins was suspended “in line with our policy on Coordinated Harmful Activity.” Since then, Twitter has changed hands and Watkins became the latest controversial figure to be reinstated by CEO Elon Musk. Watkins has not tweeted since he was reinstated earlier today.

    Q is the moniker of the anonymous figure that has left cryptic messages on online forums that point to a shadowy cohort of Satanists within our government who are allegedly sexually abusing children. Watkins is the son of the owner of 8kun (previously known as “8chan”) and is widely speculated to be the Q in QAnon. Watkins has previously told the New York Times last this year that he was not Q—which is exactly something Q might say—but the outlet alleges that Watkins began writing as Q in 2018 in their analysis with forensic linguists.

    Twitter did not immediately return Gizmodo’s request for comment on the ban of the DC bus system or Watkins’ reinstatement.

  2. TSLA finding a floor....I am out of the rest of the puts. I think the initial damage was done cutting it down from over $200 a share to almost touching $100.

    In location after location Musk's Twitter staff are being evicted on short notice from their offices. The latest location is Singapore where Twitter employees were told on a mere 24 hours notice to clear out their office stuff by 5pm on Wednesday. This is not a proper way to run a company.

    Musk drastically cuts prices of Teslas in the U.S. and Europe in an attempt to increase sales. He does not seem to understand that most of his customers in the U.S. and Europe are liberal people who care about the environment. Since Musk has come out as a right-wing, democracy undermining nutcase with Twitter --- there is no amount price cuts which will help sales in these markets.

  8. You make it sound like the Taliban were not on Twitter in the previous ownership.

    Not so. This is just about the blue tick thing. Otherwise, that has always been the gripe on twitter, that a former President of the United States was banned, doctors who disagree with covid policies were banned etc. but the Taliban, the Ayatollah's guys and all the shit bums of the world were allowed.
