Somehow I don’t believe this, it is too much out of character, even if it fits so nicely with how we want to see Elon. Did anyone here actually confirm this? I never used Twitter nor X or id check myself.

It's entirely consistent with Musk's character I observed the last couple of years.
> it is too much out of character
But it's not the first time they banned links to other social media?

sure, use the goog's to site-search twitter.com and signal.me, here's one: https://x.com/harris/status/1764683829455843464 and it says the malware after you click the obfuscated signal.me url
here is another: https://x.com/tomwarren
edit: the url's are still visible in the mouse-over text popup, and the obfuscated site-redirection url does have the url in the address bar - but only time will tell before those vanish
honestly, any site that visibly displays one url as a hyperlink (underlines ect) and links to another site is practicing in malware style link hijacking. stop using those sites
It is perfectly in character. It’s not the first time he blocked people or services he personally doesn’t like.
> it is too much out of character
I’m curious what you’re basing this on if you’ve never used X?
How could I understand Elon's character from using X? I get it from his biography, and other things I read about him.
it is very consistent of how Elon Musk has been behaving for the last 20 years.
