However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter,\u201d Twitter support said Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TwitterSupport\/status\/1604531268493795329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the account added<\/a>.

There is some history between Musk and Lopez, who investigated him and his other businesses over the years.
