15 MINUTES AGOš Elon Musk Bans Robert De Niro From X: āThereās No Room For His Woke Agendaā

In a shocking (but not entirely surprising) move, Elon Musk has banned Robert De Niro from his social media platform X. The tech billionaire, who is known for his cryptic tweets and controversial opinions, has stated that there is no place for De Niroās āwoke agendaā on his platform.

āIām a supporter of free speech,ā Musk tweeted. āBut that doesnāt mean I have to allow people to use my platform to spread ideas I disagree with.ā

De Niro, an outspoken supporter of the Democratic Party and critic of Donald Trump, has been vocal on political and social issues. He recently criticized Musk for his acquisition of Twitter, calling it āa bad thing for the country.ā

āI donāt understand why Elon Musk thinks he can run a social media company,ā De Niro said in a recent interview. āHe has no experience with it.ā
Musk was clearly unhappy with De Niroās comments. āRobert De Niro is a talented actor,ā Musk tweeted. āBut he is not a social media expert. He should focus on acting and let me run X.ā
Social media reactions were mixed. Some praised Musk for āstanding up for free speech,ā while others criticized him for āabusing his powerā and āstifle dissenting opinions.ā
āElon Musk is trying to turn X into his own personal yank room,ā one Twitter user wrote.
āI disagree with Robert De Niro on everything,ā another wrote. āBut he has a right to his opinion.ā
Itās unclear whether Muskās ban on De Niro is permanent. One thing is for sure, though: It has sparked a fierce debate about free speech and the role of social media companies.
And in a related development, Musk also announced that he is developing a new algorithm that can detect and remove āwoke opinionsā from X. āItās called āThe Woke-O-Meter,āā Musk tweeted. āAnd itās available tomorrow.ā
