In the span of less than one week, we’ve watched Twitter crack down on The Babylon Bee for violating their policy on “hateful conduct.” Here’s a quick refresher in case you missed any of it:
- Seth Dillon explains why The Babylon Bee has been ‘locked out of our account for hateful conduct’
- Seth Dillon shares Twitter’s statement about Babylon Bee’s locked account and it’s ‘truly Orwellian’
- Twitter locks defiant Babylon Bee editor-in-chief Kyle Mann out of his account for the ‘hateful conduct’ that is … spotlighting Uyghur genocide
- Twitter pulls the account-locking trigger on Not the Bee CEO (and Babylon Bee founder) Adam Ford for — you guessed it — ‘hateful conduct’
- Twitter has spoken, declaring that ‘we will not overturn our decision’ to punish The Babylon Bee for following basic biological science
- Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon’s thread gets to the heart of Twitter’s bogus commitment to ‘opinions and beliefs without barriers’
Does Twitter’s screwy crusade against The Babylon Bee have anything to do with this poll from Elon Musk? We’re not sure, but we’re curious as to where Musk is going with it:

Musk says that “the consequences of this poll will be important,” but so far, he hasn’t elaborated any further:
The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.

What should Elon Musk name his new social media platform?
