Musk’s recent deal with Twitter had sparked a dialogue about having less censorship on the platform. However, recently, MMA fans observed the company suspending UFC middleweight Sean Strickland‘s Twitter handle. Thus, the fight fans took to Reddit to question the Tesla CEO about Strickland’s Twitter ban.
“Didn’t Elon said he bought twitter because he wants EVERYONE to allow to use free speech? Even if it’s negative or radical. Well that was a f**king lie,” wrote a Reddit user.

However, some suggested Musk is yet to take over Twitter, and some offered that Musk has nothing to do with this. Some only wanted their favorite fighter’s tweets.
“Elon hasn’t bought anything yet”
“Do people really think that if Elon had bought Twitter nobody would get banned anymore? Media literacy is so important”
“This ruined my day. Sean’s tweets were the only ones worth reading. He needs a new platform, why don’t people go back to making blogs?”
“Unbelievable, Sean Strickland the internet angel’s Twitter account has been suspended. This must be some kind of terrible mistake.”
