Elon Musk’s X-Platform (formerly Twitter) appears to have recently suspended a number of accounts, with popular conservative X-accounts seeing a significant drop in follower numbers. While many claim the purge is aimed at bot accounts that have been plaguing the platform, multiple complaints have also surfaced of legitimate accounts being suspended.
It’s unclear why the accounts were suspended, but many conservatives have taken to X/Twitter to comment that they’ve seen a significant drop in their follower counts. Additionally, the suspended accounts aren’t entirely bots, and appear to include actual users of the social media platform.
“Anyone else lost followers last night? I lost 5,000,” wrote Catturd, a popular conservative X-account.

“Another massive wipeout of X accounts took place last night. It’s odd that they couldn’t do a better job of doing a ‘bot wipe’ like this going back to when Jack owned the platform,” YouTuber TheQuartering wrote.
There was another massive wipeout of X accounts last night, and it seems odd that a “bot wipeout” like this wasn’t done properly even going back to when Jack owned the platform.
It’s like someone just threw in a few people they didn’t like and is trying to cover it up.
