I'm not sure that is true.

And she is unsuspended already.

It's at the very least Musk's explanation. Lorenz's tweet with her offsite links predates the new policy; if they're related, the policy was a retroactive explanation similar to how they made up the "no real-time location" policy after banning @elonjet.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11550753/Taylor-Lor... has a screenshot of her Tweeting him asking for comment on a story that came out today, https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details.... That, IMO, is the most likely explanation for the action.

Yes, he's gotten a lot of backlash today.

I think it was this: she tagged Elon (and emailed him), so he went looking at her account. Found some older posts and reported them (maybe his assistant did that).

And the account was banned until the links are removed by the account owner (this is how twitter deals with such posts).

Taylor Lorenz did enough harm already, for example, revealing identity of libsoftiktok was inappropriate, she is a bad person.

I don't think that anything prior to rule introduction should stay forever. If she was forced to delete it, that's fine.

But Elon as usual could have managed it better.
