X suspended @ParodyJeffX, a parody account with nearly 200K followers, sparking a wave of roughly 400,000 posts demanding answers. Rep. Thomas Massie publicly asked Elon Musk to review the ban, but neither Musk nor the X team has responded. Critics are calling the silence scandalous and the platform's free-speech stance a broken promise.
