Today, if everyone wakes up early and checks Twitter, they may find that many of the Chinese influencers they frequently follow have had their accounts suspended~
Specifically, familiar names like Sha Po Lang @Wolfy_XBT and Wizard @0xCryptoWizard have been affected~
Careful netizens have discovered that all these suspended influencers had the GMGN badge on their Twitter profiles, and upon further investigation, it turns out that the official GMGN account, marked with a gold badge @gmgnai, has also been suspended, along with GMGN's founder, Chicken Brother @haze0x.
Because GMGN pays relatively high fees to top influencers for the badge, the Chinese community has suffered significant losses~
However, the whole internet is curious about what exactly has happened that led to such a large-scale suspension?
Users on X have been discussing this event, with some speculating that GMGN may have encountered problems or been involved in a “capital trap,” and there are even rumors that the team has been arrested.
I reached out to a friend working at GMGN, who stated that everything is operating normally within GMGN, and they are still looking for reasons for the suspensions while communicating with the X team. They hope that everyone does not spread rumors~
Then, through friends close to the X team, I learned that this arbitrary suspension may be related to a meme called $PPMT discovered on GMGN.
This meme is clearly created by Chinese users, as PPMT is an acronym in pinyin~
Just when the P little generals were starting to create buzz on Twitter as usual, it seems that GMGN's KOLs were promoting it quite vigorously, leading Musk to believe that GMGN is the driving force behind this meme.
X's rules state that accounts may be temporarily or permanently suspended due to reports of abusive behavior (such as misleading content or security risks).
But the actual enforcement may still depend on Musk's personal will.
For example, in November 2022, Musk suspended all comedians who imitated and mocked him.
In 2024, several journalists were also suspended for making critical remarks about Musk, with the reasons for suspension not clearly stated, only showing 'violating X rules.'
