Just before his commentary on cancel culture, Musk shared an article from last year about terms the FBI had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2023\/04\/05\/heres-fbi-glossary-for-flagging-violent-extremism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"flagging\">flagged<\/a> as &ldquo;extremism.&rdquo; Among the terms were &ldquo;based&rdquo; and &ldquo;red-pilled,&rdquo; which Musk frequently uses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3230175\/democrats-search-answers-barack-obama-influence-wanes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>DEMOCRATS SEARCH FOR ANSWERS AS BARACK OBAMA&rsquo;S INFLUENCE WANES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since buying X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk lifted bans for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/22\/technology\/musk-twitter-bans.html\">thousands<\/a> of accounts that were previously banned because they promoted COVID-19 skepticism, QAnon conspiracy theories, and other controversial views.

Accounts that have issued violent threats are removed. Another example was the ban on Jack Sweeney, a University of Central Florida student who makes a hobby of tracking&nbsp;Musk&rsquo;s&nbsp;jet.
