A boycott of links to Mr. Musk’s social media platform spread on Reddit this week, after he made a gesture that some likened to a Nazi salute. Others worried about censorship.

Some Reddit forums have moved to ban links from X, formerly known as Twitter, after Elon Musk's gesture at an inaugural event on Monday.

After months of controversy, capped off by Elon Musk's salute at the presidential inauguration, backlash against the tech mogul has hit a fever pitch.

A ban on links to X content began on Reddit sports forums and has spread to numerous other sub-Reddits with more discussing the move.

Multiple "subreddits" have banned links from Elon Musk's X platform after the tech mogul flashed a gesture that critics have said resembled a Nazi salute.

Since Tuesday, hundreds of subreddits have discussed and/or implemented bans against the site formerly called Twitter, as reported by 404 Media. Dozens of subreddits have already agreed to disallow the sharing of any links to X, with moderators (volunteer Reddit users) agreeing to enforce the bans.

Moderators of groups with millions of users say the block is a result of the billionaire's on-stage gesture.

Reddit communities from r/NBA to r/Christianity say they won’t allow links to the platform after Elon Musk’s gesture, which some interpreted as a Nazi-style salute.

Reddit communities, including some with millions of followers, have instituted bans on links to X, formerly known as Twitter, amid the uproar surrounding Elon Musk’s hand gesture during a recent inauguration event. A Reddit spokesperson clarified that these bans are initiated at the user-level and are not platform-enforced.

Another potential rebellion is brewing at Reddit after Trump’s tech bro in chief’s antics at Monday’s inauguration.

The cascade of link bans on Reddit came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute.
