I think you miss the option that the moderation staff is a few (possibly incompetent) people in a sweat shop who just misunderstood what they're supposed to do, as everything is being don on a whim.
whoever is taking these actions, it's pretty clear that it's not being done against elon's will or without his knowledge.
Unless pg’s account is re-instated within 12 hours I don’t think the moderation staff has misunderstood anything at all.
