Elon Musk’s X platform faces complaints over XRP account suspension.
X (formerly Twitter) executive chairman and chief technical officer Elon Musk has faced criticism over the banning of an XRP-related account.
CryptoIrie, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency community, reached out directly to Elon Musk on X seeking an explanation for the account suspension being a mistake.
The account in question – Digital Asset Investor.XRP – is recognized for its explicit support for XRP (XRP), which belongs to the XRP Ledger blockchain. Various controversies and legal disputes have surrounded XRP for a long time, most notably a lawsuit filed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claiming that XRP is an unregistered security.

However, XRP has retained a group of supporters who are optimistic about its future. Digital Asset Investor.XRP serves as an open space for XRP enthusiasts to share information and views and engage in conversations about cryptocurrency.
Although some individuals defended Musk, stating that the ban was a precautionary measure to prevent fraudsters, the lack of response from X officials led to speculation.
Responding to comments that the ban was a measure to deter fraudsters, CryptErie remained firm in its belief that the account ban was unfair.
“I've been doing my part to stay grounded in reality. Even when I call it the crypto police or part of the erasure culture. That was not fun. I sympathize with him because he built his entire channel using the X platform.
The debate has drawn the attention of prominent industry advocates such as pro-XRP advocate John Deaton over whether the ban is now an isolated incident or marks the resumption of censorship in the X community.

Meanwhile, a recent report revealed an SEC investigation into Musk. The inquiry centers on whether Musk violated federal securities laws about his stock purchases and subsequent disclosures and documents about X's purchase.
