Elon Musk Shadow Bans Account That Was Tracking His Jet
Despite Elon Musk's recent claims of supposedly being for Free Speech and restoring said policy to Twitter, yet another example of this being a lie has surfaced.
Jack Sweeney is the fellow who created the Twitter account @elonjet, which tracks the comings and goings of Musk's private jet. He recently tweeted about how that account has been squashed by Twitter and he's got proof, thanks to some of the whistleblowers inside of the company:

From a report at the Daily Beast:
Internal company messages shared with Sweeney by an “anonymous Twitter employee” reflected that the @elonjet account had been “visibility limited/restricted to a severe degree” beginning Dec. 2. A screenshot of what he claimed was an internal Slack channel showed Ella Irwin, the person appointed to replace Yoel Roth as Twitter’s new head of trust and safety, asking a “Team” to “please apply heavy VF to @elonjet immediately.”
