Unbelievable. Co-founder of @ceprdc, @DeanBaker13 got banned from Twitter. Dean is a progressive economist and has, to my knowledge, an entirely unobjectionable Twitter presence. But he made fun of Musk. An absolutely grotesque abuse of power and suppression of actual free speech.

@austinc @ceprdc @DeanBaker13

To be fair, making Musk jokes is making fun of someone with a behavioral disorder. He is on the spectrum. He made that information public on SNL.

Now, I just wish that the news media would continuously mention that the way he is acting is an example of Aspergers syndrome and his behavior should be understood as symptomatic of a mental illness. It would put his actions in the proper context.
