Tesla CEO and soon-to-be owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, is seemingly being censored on the social media platform he’s looking to own and is attempting to get down to the bottom of it.
As reported by the New York Post, a Twitter user named Steven Mark Ryan pointed out that Musk’s tweets stop loading at a certain point. He posted the following video as support.
A convenient “bug” that stops loading @elonmusk’s tweet replies from his timeline. I’ve noticed this on my devices (iPhone and Mac) for past several days at least. pic.twitter.com/F1TFbyBz8N

The poll was conducted on the subject. 80 percent of respondents said Musk’s tweets stopped loading after a “short scroll.”
“What’s going on @paraga?” asked Musk, tweeting at Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal.
What’s going on @paraga?

Although the Post tried to reach out to Twitter for clarification, they did not respond.
It’s unclear if this was purposeful or if it’s just a glitch in the algorithm. Given the recently released undercover footage from Twitter employees, many would say this was an intentional decision.
Musk isn’t likely to get an answer, at least until he owns the company and he can sift through all the data himself, but one thing is for sure, Twitter is well known for censoring people its employees don’t agree with or don’t like. Musk’s tweets being censored are well within the realm of possibility.
Musk posted a tweet mocking companies who suddenly put rainbow filters on their logos in preparation for pride month. It’s a tweet that is going to upset people at Twitter HQ without fail.

Either way, Twitter’s lack of transparency is ironically on full display here. Twitter’s most egregious crime is not defining its rules. It allows it to modify its code to sanction anyone and everything they like.
Moreover, the issue that Musk is having is probably easily dealt with, and the fact that it’s still going on is a sign that this is purposeful.
At the time of writing, TwitterHQ has not responded to any questions regarding it.
