Since purchasing Twitter last year for $ 44 billion, Elon Musk has made a series of changes on Twitter that has led to mixed reactions from users.
A few weeks ago, Elon Musk announced a policy update on Twitter that suspends accounts engaging in non-sequitur self-promotion or misleading advertising.
A non sequitur is any conversation or message that does not logically follow or relate to the existing information. He said:
“Accounts that try to game our verification system with non-sequitur self-promotion or advertise misleadingly will be suspended.”
