It looks like Elon's claims of being a free speech absolutist don't go very far, if this article is to be taken at face value.
The most disappointing part for me is the lack of transparency. Didn't Elon talk about including explanations for why people were banned or why they had restricted reach? We can only speculate about why these people were banned because Twitter doesn't provide a public explanation. Were these people verified (paying) users as well? IMO, that would make it even more egregious.
It seems like the CTO was made aware of the situation and 15 minutes later the accounts were un-suspended. [1] https://nitter.poast.org/elonmusk/status/1744766353494376749 Probably some automated system or mass report (speculating, of course).
