Activist Shaun King has announced he has not deleted his Twitter account after it went offline soon after he criticized Elon Musk's purchase of the platform as being about "white power."

King, who rose to prominence during the start of the Black Lives Matter movement, had his Twitter account taken offline hours after he criticized the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's plans to take over Twitter.

The move was celebrated by a number of conservatives figures on the social media site. However, King later returned to Twitter on Tuesday in a tweet attacking Jack Posobiec, a far-right figurehead who helped spread the QAnon-linked "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory.

oh bull shit.


Elon hasn't even had time to actually take control at that level yet. And since I've never heard of Shaun King I wouldn't be surprised if Elon has never heard of him either.

Tucker Carlson suddenly appeared yesterday after being suspended for hateful content. Something is going on. Perhaps media whores are pretending to be impacted by the change to garner attention.

It appears that either Twitter is beginning to give the bots the boot...or the bots are getting out while the getting is good.







Actually, in Hogg's case, yeah...it might be because he's an idiot.

Shaun King is an inveterate liar.

Are there any other examples?

Ok so maybe... seems very sudden to me but ok. But this King guy only lost access to his account briefly right?

Sounds more like a tech issue.

🤣

King is a white guy lying about being a black guy, appropriating black causes to make himself a public figure. How the **** ANYONE believes ANYTHING he says is beyond me.

Obviously it wasn’t because the scammer is back today.
Well it seems someone pulled the plug but then was exposing them as not being pro free speech after all so fixed it.

Why was it put back up? If it happened, it had nothing to do with Musk flipping switches.

Twitter doesn't make money. Twitter steers public opinion. Which Is more valuable?

Oh, Shaun King is well known in certain circles. He's the male version of Rachel Dolezal, a white guy that identifies as black. He writes anti-white screeds for several "woke" publications.

As far as "bullshit" goes, you can count on that!!!

Same here. I told them I see most tweets actually on reddit but for whatever reason they didn't like that answer.

Elon has to stop disformation, it's dangerous.
