X (formerly Twitter) CEO and CTO Elon Musk has faced criticism for suspending an XRP-related account.
Crypto Eri, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency community, directly contacted Elon Musk at X, asking for clarification on whether the account suspension was a mistake.
The account in question, Digital Asset Investor.XRP, was recognized for its outspoken advocacy of XRP (XRP), the XRP Ledger blockchain asset. Various controversies and legal disputes have long surrounded XRP, most notably a lawsuit from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). claiming that XRP is an unregistered security.

However, XRP has maintained a committed group of backers who remain optimistic about its future. Digital Asset Investor.XRP served as a space for XRP enthusiasts to exchange information and insights and engage in cryptocurrency conversations.
Although some people have defended Musk, suggesting that the suspension was a precautionary measure to prevent potential scammers, the lack of response from X officials has led to speculation.
In response to a comment proposing that the suspensions were a measure to deter scammers, Crypto Eri stood firm in its belief that the account suspension was unfair:
“I've been doing my part to stick to the facts. Even when they call me crypto police or part of cancel culture. That hasn't been fun. I empathize because he built his entire channel using the X platform.”
The dispute, which has attracted the attention of prominent industry advocates such as pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton, now revolves around whether the suspension is an isolated incident or indicates a resurgence of censorship within the X community.
