Paul's account is back up, but I don't think that the feeling will fade as quickly as the ban. Musk can and will do all kinds of stuff and test the waters to see what he can get away with, then backpedal when it blows up in his face.
But if he could have gotten away with it he would have. So if you don't have Pauls' stature you are on thin ice.
It doesn't really matter does it? Because if idiot policies can be made, implemented and executed to a degree that people like Paul get banned and then be rescued by the CEO of the company you have to wonder how many people without that kind of stature are going to be treated the same way.
This is simply no way to run a social media website. You need care and delibration, not spur-of-the-moment changes with massive impact on the site and its users, including some of your most steadfast supporters, which Paul clearly was up to that point.
But if he could have gotten away with it he would have. So if you don't have Pauls' stature you are on thin ice.
