Musk wasn’t happy about the speech on Reddit.

Summary

Elon Musk privately pressured Reddit CEO Steve Huffman to address content moderation after publicly criticizing Reddit on X for banning links and allegedly hosting violent content.

Shortly after Musk’s messages, Reddit imposed a 72-hour ban on the “WhitePeopleTwitter” subreddit, citing violent content, and deleted a thread Musk highlighted.

Reddit denies external influence but acknowledges evaluating reports seriously.

The controversy stirred discussions among Reddit moderators, some mocking Musk as a “giant baby.” Musk has not commented on the situation.

      Haha I connected that addy to a bot at https://mailbait.info/run and sent him a few thousand emails a day of what I imagine his interests were. I’m sure he found all the links to personal escort services, nude beach satellite imagery, mammalian genital enhancement, one way vacations and STD diagnosis and treatment all very useful.
