To: Elon Musk (@elonmusk) Subject: Censorship of Conservative Voices on X Dear Mr. Musk, First, let me say how much I respect and admire your unwavering commitment to free speech and the extraordinary efforts you’ve made to protect it. That said, I want to bring to your attention a significant issue: the suppression of thousands of conservative accounts on X. Many of us have experienced this firsthand. Personally, I was highly successful during the 2016 election on Twitter, achieving remarkable analytical numbers. However, during or shortly after that election, Hillary Clinton reportedly created a list of influential individuals—myself included—whom she accused of being Russian bots and targeted for suppression. While I can’t say how she managed it, the result was clear: countless conservative voices were silenced, and this suppression has continued for years. The historical data is undeniable and paints a troubling picture. I’m sharing a song and video that I hope you’ll enjoy. It highlights the critical importance of free speech while addressing the liberals who worked to suppress and permanently suspend many voices. I could delve deeper into the details, but my main hope is that you’ll read this and consider looking into these concerns—or even my account specifically. I firmly believe the reason for this suppression is tied to the pivotal role Twitter played in the 2016 election. By countering mainstream media narratives and exposing truths to voters, the platform became a tipping point that helped Donald Trump secure victory. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Sincerely, Brian Fraser

If you come across this post, please share it to help bring it to @elonmusk’s attention. Thousands of conservative voices are being silenced or censored, and Elon Musk is one of the few who can take action to restore our ability to be heard.

This post is very important to me and I am determined to get to @elonmusk and his eyes. If it takes months i am not going to stop trying (i have a plan) It’s also not about me or getting my post quoted or shared by him it’s about the message that thousands of conservative voices are still being suppressed or silenced I say my chances are better than average and I look forward to his response. Thanks for sharing and your reply my good friend ❤️😊

Brian, thank you for being our voice, wow this brings back some memories, I miss so many old accounts, especially Carmine Zozzora, sadly our voices were stronger on the old Twitter because the algorithms are killing us here now.

I always smile when I see you—it’s such a pleasant surprise. Yes, our voices were much stronger on the old Twitter. But things started to change; suppression and silencing began after the 2016 election. By the 2020 election, those of us who weren’t completely silenced were heavily suppressed. After January 6, thousands were either permanently banned or silenced for years. Even those lucky enough to regain their accounts found themselves censored even more severely than in 2020. In 2020, I reached about 30% of the views and activity I had in 2016. By 2024, I’m seeing only 60-65% of what I achieved in 2020—or roughly 20% of my 2016 analytics. This is despite growing from around 100K followers in 2016 to 243K today. After being suppressed in 2017, my follower growth rate dropped to about 5%. Growth is still slow, but thankfully, the majority of my new followers are organic. The situation is a joke. It’s corrupt, unfair, and incredibly discouraging. But despite how much it pisses me off, I’ll keep fighting to be as effective as I can.

Brian, on behalf of other small accounts, thank you for putting this out there! I wasn’t around during the great purge, but I have a few very dear friends who had their voices silenced. The way things are now, makes it very difficult to build a following unless you’re willing to sell your soul, or religion… I sincerely hope Mr. Musk receives and acknowledges your important message.

Thank you for your support. This post is incredibly important to me, and I’m determined to get it in front of @elonmusk. I believe that if he reads it, he will respond, and those affected by this issue will finally get a comment from him. When it comes to building a following, the challenges many face are often part of broader suppression efforts. If you’re struggling with this, feel free to send me a DM in the next day or two. I don’t share this information publicly, but I’m happy to copy and paste some proven strategies to help you gain engaged followers who will interact with your posts. Over the years, I’ve fought tirelessly during elections and worked to spread conservative values and content. I’ve also dedicated time and effort to help smaller accounts or those genuinely trying to grow on solid foundations. If you’re interested, I’d be glad to look at your account and offer personalized tips or advice. I want to be clear—my goal in reaching Elon isn’t just to get my post shared or fix my own account. This is about advocating for thousands of silenced conservative voices. It’s about restoring our rights, amplifying our messages, and ensuring that truth, conservative values, and critical information are heard—especially as we approach future elections.

Thousand of people did. Thanks for your support. I’m going to do everything I can to get this to @elonmusk’s eyes and I will be making quote tweets with this post replying to any of his posts that are related to free speech. I have a feeling it’s possible he might end up seeing but still a long shot

Being able to debate and half free speech is great. Ugliness is not. Telling MAGA folks to fuck off is not cool either.

I agree HOWEVER free speech gives a person to tell someone to fuck off the right to and even though I like it i support the freedom to. In my opinion the only exceptions should be threatening or encouraging violence, very blunt and obvious hate speech. I also think if people are caught using their accounts to aid, assist, conduct criminal activity or communications they should be shut down and permanently suspended .

That can often be unrelated to censorship. Send me a DM and in a day or two I will get back to you with information and tips or advice. This will likely continue happening to you
