Through polls, Elon Musk is reinstating anti-trans Twitter accounts and controversial accounts

As the LGBTQ community laments the loss of five lives in a shooting rampage in a gay club in Colorado, Elon Musk's Twitter has let back several anti-trans Twitter accounts that were previously suspended for harassing the group. Looks like a lot of suspended accounts are to make a comeback.

The incident shocked the LGBTQ community as a whole. As a sign that the new Elon Musk Twitter will be more receptive to that sort of far-right discourse, Twitter over the weekend restored a number of significant Twitter accounts that had previously been suspended for violating its regulations, notably those that discriminated against LGBTQ people. Musk is reinstating anti-trans Twitter accounts after the incident has many groups go against his discrimination. Advocates claim that the arrest over the weekend serves as a warning about the real-world violence that might result from anti-trans speech. Anti-trans harassment has increased on the platform.

The account reinstatements are a part of Twitter's transformation under Musk's turbulent leadership, who just acquired control of the firm. Scaling down content filtering and restoring huge accounts that had been banned for violating the company's policies on the mistreatment of LGBTQ people are two aspects of transforming Twitter into the vision he has for it. The company's anti-trans harassment policy was something Musk previously said he wanted to "examine."

Although the shooting's motivation is still unclear, it occurred at a time when anti-LGBTQ prejudice is reaching feverish heights, in part because of the language emanating from a more mainstream segment of the Republican Party. Bomb threats have been made against hospitals thought to provide gender-affirming procedures, and drag brunches are frequently disrupted and protested—activities supported by internet anti-LGBTQ groups. The country's Red States have enacted or proposed anti-LGBTQ legislation, hate crimes against the community are increasing, and the SPLC has noted a surge in the number of hate groups that target the group.

The Colorado Springs incident was either applauded or rife with conspiracies in other areas of the internet, where moderation is non-existent. The focus among conspiracy-focused organizations was on the name of the club, Club Q, which had theorists thinking it signaled a false flag. Bigots praised the attack on websites and in neo-Nazi chat rooms. These attacks will "increase," according to a well-known Nazi website, which also stated that "only those who have been victims of these attacks are to blame."
