I can't tell if you're being satirical or if this is some 1984 re-writing of history, but Twitter definitely banned linking to other social media websites under Elon's rule.

> "We know that many of our users may be active on other social media platforms; however, going forward, Twitter will no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms on Twitter," the company said in a statement.

> under Elon's rule

that's precisely what I assumed

Genuinely thanks for doing the effort of looking for sources and correcting someone you thought was wrong, but the allegation of me singlehandedly (just the thought! :D) trying to rewrite history maybe goes a bit far when I said it was just my assumption and that I don't know of such a thing before elonmusk took over

You seem to have misunderstood them because they are saying the same thing.
Don't know why downvoted, this is correct. Thanks for pointing it out sooner than I got around to
