"Since my life's work has already been about exposing and destroying the Woke agenda, I shall now add exposing and destroying Twitter to my resume. Stay tuned," Rubin told The Post Millennial.
Twitter claimed that Rubin had violated their rules against "hateful conduct." His tweet read: "The insanity continues at Twitter. [Jordan B. Peterson] has been suspended for his tweet about Ellen Page. He just told me he will 'never' delete the tweet." Rubin then wrote: "paging @elonmusk," Twitter's new owner.
In the post flagged by Twitter, Rubin offered a defense of Jordan Peterson after he was suspended for tweeting about actor Elliot Page, using that actor's name prior to Page undergoing gender transition.
"I have been suspended by Twitter for posting a screenshot of Jordan Peterson's tweet which got he himself suspended," Rubin wrote in a statement.
He went on to say that while he was not sure how he broke Twitter's rules, "it is clear that they are breaking their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders by letting a bunch of Woke activists run the company."
"I hope Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter goes through so he can blow up their servers and humanity can move past this pervasive, twisted, self-imposed mental institution."
Rubin added that during the time he's suspended, people can still find his content via Locals.
Peterson's tweet was flagged after he posted that actor Elliot Page, who previously went by Ellen Page and presented as a woman, had undergone a voluntary double mastectomy in an effort to ease gender dysphoria. Peterson said that the doctor who performed the surgery was a "criminal physician."
Twitter considers it "hateful conduct" to state the name a person went by prior to undergoing gender transition, or to use pronouns that are not those a person prefers. Activists refer to this as "dead naming."
Comment: It's likely Rubin was also suspended for 'dead-naming' Page. It's a rather stupid policy.

Twitter is evil. End of story.Agreed! I also signed up with twitter when it first came out, curious to follow what Steve Martin was posting, despite the creepy vibes I was getting from it. After about a week, Steve Martin didn't seem like a good enough reason to stay with it, so I dumped it as well. I've never been tempted to sign up again, and especially not now that it's showing its true colors. * Shudder *. Anybody who's sane and still using that needs to check their priorities.
Twitter is evil - the blue bird logo even comes from the CIA, directly. Lol, this is how brazenly they do things. Operation Bluebird preceded MK Ultra, and, the CIA (I believe back in the 50's and 60's) had incoming agents read a book wherein a bluebird was part of the book's narrative. I cannot recall the name of the book in this moment however.
Twitter is evil. End of story. 200 years ago, (when the US in A was the land of the free and the home of the brave), this company would have burned to the ground for some of the stuff they now do as SOP.
