Far-right activist Laura Loomer claims she was suspended on X by Elon Musk

Far-right activist Laura Loomer found herself in hot water on social media platform X after a clash with its owner Elon Musk and the MAGA base regarding highly skilled foreign workers. Loomer was suspended for 12 hours following a series of posts criticizing the technocratic influence in the country and the White House.

In a post on Friday, Loomer expressed her frustration at being penalized for speaking out against Big Tech’s control over conservative voices. She questioned X’s commitment to free speech, especially after having her blue checkmark removed and subscriptions deactivated. Loomer, known for her controversial views on immigration and far-right conspiracy theories, has a history of being banned from various social media platforms.

The online feud began when Loomer took aim at President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for artificial intelligence adviser, Sriram Krishnan, who Loomer criticized for supporting policies that would allow more highly skilled immigrants into the country. This led to a series of posts targeting Elon Musk, who has been vocal about creating a platform that promotes free speech and open debate.

Musk, a supporter of Trump’s reelection campaign, acquired X in 2022 with the intention of reducing censorship on social media. Despite pouring millions into Trump’s campaign, Musk has maintained his commitment to providing a platform for diverse opinions. However, he made it clear that repeated violations of X’s rules, such as spreading misinformation or hate speech, would result in reduced visibility for users.

While Trump has not directly addressed the controversy surrounding Loomer’s suspension, his transition team has pointed to a post by incoming White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, emphasizing Trump’s commitment to American innovation. The rift between Trump’s Silicon Valley supporters and the anti-immigrant MAGA base highlights the challenges faced by the Republican Party in maintaining a united front.

As the debate rages on, Musk urged users to ignore Loomer’s attention-seeking behavior, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a respectful and constructive online environment. Despite the ongoing tensions, Musk’s acquisition of X signals a shift towards a more open and inclusive social media platform, where diverse viewpoints can coexist.
