I spent the afternoon yesterday at Twitter HQ at the invitation of @elonmusk to find out more about the trend "blacklist" that twitter placed on me & more. A short thread on what I found out follows. 1/4
Twitter 1.0 placed me on the blacklist on the first day I joined in August 2021. I think it was my pinned tweet linking to the @gbdeclaration that triggered the blacklist based on unspecified complaints Twitter received. 2/4
@DrJBhattacharya @elonmusk If Twitter did all this...(which it appeared they did) why would they sell the company to @elonmusk to expose it all? 🤔 I'm confused. Surely what they were doing - censorship, cancelling, manipulation of facts etc - was worth more than money to them 🤷🏼♀️
@DrJBhattacharya @elonmusk It's not just that they blacklisted you, it's that they also amplified fear mongers for political reasons. x.com/robber_baron_/…

@DrJBhattacharya @elonmusk Jay, I am so glad for this. You, Martin, Scott and Sunetra have been beacons during a dark time. Elon, thank you - we know the level of hate coming your way as you set the bird free and bring in the sunlight.
@DrJBhattacharya @elonmusk Great news. This is encouraging. Get to the bottom of it all.
@DrJBhattacharya @elonmusk Science and politics should be completely separated.
@DrJBhattacharya @elonmusk @joeschm80238897 First day he joined, due to pinned tweet about GBD. Wasn't there someone in the government that called for a "devastating take down" of this guy?
@DrJBhattacharya @elonmusk If only you cared this much about the folks who died from COVID or folks suffering from long COVID. But then caring about others isn’t something Republicans do. Sad that you’re a doctor.
