Recently, former Twitter executive chairman and chief technology officer Elon Musk has been criticized for suspending XRP-related accounts. Crypto Eri, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency community, asked Musk to clarify whether the account suspension was a mistake. The account in question, Digital Asset Investor.XRP, was recognized for its outspoken advocacy of XRP. There have long been various controversies and legal disputes surrounding XRP, notably a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claiming that XRP is an unregistered security.

While some defended Musk, suggesting the suspension was a precautionary measure to ward off potential scammers, no response from Twitter officials fueled speculation. Crypto Eri remains convinced that the account’s suspension was unjust. The controversy, which has drawn the attention of prominent industry advocates such as pro-XRP attorney John Deaton, now surrounds whether the suspension was an isolated incident or marked a resurgence of censorship within the Twitter community.

Meanwhile, a recent report revealed the ongoing SEC investigation into Musk. The investigation focuses on whether Musk violated federal securities regulations related to his stock acquisition and subsequent statements and documents related to the Twitter acquisition.
