A social-media account for white male supporters of Kamala Harris was briefly suspended from X, formerly Twitter, sparking anger online.
Newsweek observed that the White Dudes for Harris X account had been temporarily suspended after the group held a star-studded virtual call on Monday night that raised more than $4 million.
It is not clear why the account was suspended, but it appeared to have been restored as of the early hours of Tuesday. The automated message when the account was suspended read: “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”
Mike Nellis, who is involved in the organization, shared an update on Tuesday explaining that while the X account is live again, it still remains suspended.

In response to the suspension, Ross Morales Rocketto, an organizer for the group, wrote, “Got @elonmusk [X owner] scared.”
Brett Meiselas, the co-founder of outlet MeidasTouch, shared on X a photo of the suspended account, along with the message: “This is the real election interference.”
Basically people who still needs an easily accessible audience. Mastodon has been proven hard to use and hard to advertise to the people around me, so what else can you do.
