Donald Trump has forged close ties with the world's richest man in the world, Elon Musk, but the President-elect's fan base is lashing out at Musk's social network.
The apparent origin of the controversy is the blow-up between Musk himself, who advocated for legal immigration policies that benefit his companies, and many in the MAGA base, who hope to curtail all types of incoming immigrants.
It was at that time that Laura Loomer, a Trump loyalist who appeared with candidate Trump on the campaign trail, said she was banned by Musk's social media company, which was formerly known as Twitter.

On Saturday, Loomer took on X to complain about the company purportedly hiding numerous comments on her posts.
Loomer highlighted one of her posts from Friday, where she said X had wrongly flagged some comments as "probable spam." She said she reached out to the company for answers.
"I asked X how this post could have 121 comments and then all but 7 of them are marked as spam. So every single person who commented below on the lawfare against Trump violated the 'platform manipulation and spam policy'? That is a lie being used to censor," she wrote publicly. "You be the judge yourself and open the tweet and read the comments. There’s nothing wrong with majority of the comments. I really hope this censorship ends soon. [Musk] can you plz review this issue with the probable spam? Majority of users are not in violation of policies. This is alarming."
One self-identified conservative with a blue check asked Loomer where his reply fell, and she said, "Your reply is also being marked as 'probable spam'."
"You are a premium user. You are paying for a service and being marked as spam. I wish we could get an honest reply about why this is happening to so many people on X. How are Legit replies spam?" Loomer then asked.
@A_Aron1975, who calls himself "MAGA MAN," also chimed in:
"This is crazy! What happened to X? I had such high hopes for this platform," the user wrote.
Another user who has promoted far-right conspiracy theories, @Canarbles, said, "When I subscribed to Premium to support Elon, almost immediately my account was silenced for a week with no explanation, and I had posted nothing even remotely controversial."
"Tried to contact Premium Support, no response at all. If you subscribe, expect the same," he added.
