The ban comes shortly after Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk tweeted about the importance of free speech on the social media platform after his $44 billion acquisition.  

“Musk has claimed that he believes Twitter should be an unregulated global town hall, and Twitter has long prided themselves on being the arbiters of public conversation,” said Kulechov in comments to The Block.

"But if that was truly the case, then the digital town hall would be owned by the public as well, not just hosted by a centralized force that could close their doors to people at their choosing."

Kulechov’s account was reinstated by Twitter on Thursday, after which the AAVE founder wasted no time in tweeting the same joke that got him banned.

I’m back as interim CEO of @twitter
