Elon Musk, owner of popular social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), has faced criticism for suspending X accounts related to XRP.
Crypto Eri, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency world, directly Platform X reached out to Elon Musk seeking clarification on whether the account suspension was a mistake.
The account, whose username is @digitalassetbuy, is recognized for being an outspoken advocate for Ripple Labs Inc.’s native digital currency, XRP. XRP has encountered various controversies and legal disputes, notably a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) claiming that XRP is an unregistered security.

Despite these obstacles, XRP still has a group of staunch supporters who remain optimistic about its future. The X account by @digitalassetbuy provides a space for XRP enthusiasts to exchange information and opinions and participate in conversations about the cryptocurrency. Unexpectedly, the account was suspended, leaving its fans surprised and confused.
While some defended Musk, arguing that the suspension was a precautionary measure to ward off potential scammers, X officials did not respond, fueling speculation.
Responding to a statement that the suspension was to deter scammers, Crypto Eri remains convinced that the account’s suspension was unjust.
“I’ve always tried to stick to the facts. Even if I’m called the crypto police or part of the cancel culture. That’s not funny. I feel for him because his entire channel is built around using the X platform,”
she says.
The controversy, which has drawn the attention of prominent industry advocates such as XRP holder attorney John Deaton, now surrounds questions about whether the suspension was an isolated incident or a sign of censorship within the X community raised its head again.
