ChainCatcher news, according to NBC News, tech billionaire Musk is facing scrutiny from American conservatives after several prominent right-wing accounts that criticized Musk's views on immigration reported that they were subsequently unable to use the premium features of Musk's social media platform "X."

A survey showed that at least 14 conservative accounts indicated late Thursday or Friday that X had revoked their "blue V verification," stripping them of access to various premium features, including monetization through subscriptions and ad revenue sharing. Some accounts claimed that the number of affected accounts was far greater than these.

Some conservatives stated that they believe X's actions represent Musk's betrayal, as he is "secretly banning" his conservative critics. Musk acquired Twitter, now known as "X," in 2022 partly because he believed Twitter was unfairly restricting conservative speech. Since then, Musk has referred to himself as an "advocate for free speech."
