Elon Musk’s Twitter has suspended several accounts belonging to extreme leftist Antifa groups following years of incitement to violence culminating in threats to commit arson against Tesla facilities.
Journalist Andy Ngo tweeted the details, noting that while some accounts are suspended, others remain active:
A violent extremist propaganda site that makes printable radicalization texts for #Antifa recruits has been suspended under @elonmusk’s Twitter. Crimethinc wrote materials brainwashing readers into violent hatred of the state, police & property ownership. https://t.co/zGjhdn9NQO

Crimethinc disseminated texts brainwashing readers to violent extremism, praised domestic terrorist attacks against the state, & instructed people on how to commit violent crimes. You call it a “culture jamming anarchist publication”? What did you call ISIS propaganda? https://t.co/5liGW9tcd5

Seattle journalist @jasonrantz has written about how violent Antifa militants use Twitter to alert comrades of a real-life physical target in real time. Like myself, Seattle videographers @choeshow & @KatieDaviscourt have been stalked & attacked this way. https://t.co/tXPCWNniiX

Convicted felon & Portland #Antifa member Alexander Dial/@betacuck4lyfe has been suspended on Twitter. While on pretrial release for violent felonies, he spread hoaxes on Twitter & directed comrades to commit crimes during the 2020 BLM-Antifa insurrection in Portland. https://t.co/HEjwtT6wEQ pic.twitter.com/m7raNbTYgb

Update: Violent extremist @vps_reports has been suspended, although unknown if it is temporary or permanent. Singh has engaged in street violence himself & calls for violence against his political opponents. Videographers @fromkalen, @DrewHLive & others have been victimized. https://t.co/wFs7CliCxQ

Portland #Antifa group @Westrikeback161, who organizes window smashing & vandalism on businesses, has been suspended. "161" is the dog whistle number for AFA (Antifascist Action). Antifa have been urging violent retribution against @elonmusk for removal of their violent accounts. pic.twitter.com/Li3GINLdGP

Two #Antifa groups that used Twitter to instruct fellow comrades to hurl human waste at law enforcement & political targets have been suspended. @pissbloc & @shitbloc (a play on Antifa black bloc) provided instructions that said comrades should collect feces in buckets. pic.twitter.com/jBOUw8zC36

As more accounts were suspended, Antifa chicken necks began to target Telsa:
Earlier tonight next to the @Tesla dealership in Lynnwood, WA, a suspect threatened police with a crowbar & said he would blow up the building. He then started a fire next to propane tanks. No confirmed motive for attack but #Antifa had urged arson attacks on Tesla the same day. pic.twitter.com/SpJnqMsVBj

Near the @Tesla service center on 177th and 99 in Lynnwood, fire in a building, officers will not confirm or deny if it is a Tesla service center. @choeshow @MrAndyNgo pic.twitter.com/HFpAfLh0IL

The suspensions came after Musk asked for Twitter users last week to tell him what problems urgently needed fixing. Ngo responded, noting that Antifa uses Twitter to organise violent riots.
A large number of Antifa accounts operate on Twitter to promote riots, give tips on how to commit violent crimes & post names, photos & addresses of targets plus their family members.

Musk promised that incitement to violence would result in suspensions.
Musk also noted how it was “disturbing” that Twitter had previously taken no action against Antifa accounts.
SO cool – FINALLY!
Andy Ngo has put up with SO MUCH.
