EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk Suspends Laura Loomer Amid MAGA Civil War
It's official: Elon Musk has suspended MAGA influencer Laura Loomer after she spent the entire day yesterday calling him out over his support for H1B visas.
After several hours of back and forth arguing between Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Loomer, and other MAGA influencers, Musk took the extraordinary step of stripping Loomer and others of their verified blue checkmarks, along with their paid subscriptions.
As a result, Musk demonetized their accounts on the process. Now, MeidasTouch obtained an exclusive screenshot showing that the demonetization of Loomer's account was not the only thing Musk did.
Musk and X went so far as to suspend Loomer for a period of time, preventing her from tweeting from her account for several hours.
