16. Policies haven't changed, I doubt Musk would bother you

What likely happened is that a lot of people are reading his tweets and replies, and various political types are reporting whomever they don't like.

This is the kind of censorship people claim they want to keep, so I don't get why the complaining. People get suspended/banned for a lot less every day. It just depends if you can get a large enough group together to start spamming reports against targets.
