Elon Musk claims Twitter was operated like 'glorified activist organization' after slashing staff
The 'Outnumbered' panel discussed Elon Musk's defense of cutting Twitter staff by 80% and his claims addressing the platform's focus on censorship.
Twitter banned a self-proclaimed "Luciferian" and "Anti-Christ" after the user posted a flag promoting pedophilia.
"Not tolerated on this platform," Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted in response to a user congratulating him for pulling the account, which went by the handle "ZeebDemon," according to screenshots.
The user, who described themselves as "the transfeminine genderfluid Demon-Divine," tweeted an image on April 25 of a "youth attracted person" flag they designed that featured V-shaped colored bars.
"I wanted to stray from the oft used horizontal bars motif, but only a little. I wanted to retain some familiarity," wrote the user, who also referred to "Alice Day," which is allegedly a holiday on April 25 that emerged from the dark web and celebrates pedophilia.
According to screenshots of the since-deleted Twitter profile, which was adorned with inverted pentagrams, the user identified as "proudly paraphiliac," "radically queer" and a "Luciferian."
Luciferianism is reportedly a belief system that believes humans are gods and views Lucifer as a symbol of human enlightenment.

The user also expressed support for Black Lives Matter, the anti-police slogan ACAB and "YouthLib," an apparent reference to youth liberation, a movement advocating for people under 18 to have adult rights.

Twitter also suspended another anonymous user who posted a photo on April 26 suggesting love can be defined as between an adult and a child, according to the Christian Post.
"Two days late, but happy Alice Day," the deleted tweet read. "Mutually wanted relationships are love and valid #AliceDay #BelieveChildren #LoveisValid."
