Can not confirm nor reject the claim because everything is so tiny and fast moving. Many (apparently archived) post are in Arabic, so I cannot make head or tail of them.

The only thing I can confirm is that Taleb A. was active on Twitter long before 2024. So obvious his posts were deleted. But what they contain or was he a fan of Elon or not, I cannot say. And the author of the twit neither.

Twitter is coming to matter less, so what they do or don't do, matters less.

As you well know, because Musk is a free-speech absolutist/crusader. Actually so much so that he is constantly attacked, and vilified for his courageous position. He is also a bold defender of the light of human consciousness itself. So working backwards from there you can determine that deleting posts is actually a form of constitutionally protected speech which X (the everything app) is doing, as a public service for all of humanity.

There, FTFY

This is indefensible

Musk supports absolute free speech eh?

But the apologists will still defend Musk and claim he's all about free speech...

Wow! Not even communist China censors freedom of speech and thought like Musk does
