At least 14 conservative accounts say they lost access to premium features on Elon Musk's social media app, X.

Some conservatives say they consider X’s actions to be a betrayal by Musk , who purchased X in part because he said it had unfairly limited conservative speech.

Musk has since called himself a free-expression advocate, even as he calls for jailing some of his critics.

X and Musk have been accused of silencing users, despite Musk 's promises of free speech.

Andrew Torba , CEO of the far-right social media app Gab , has in the past praised Musk , but on Friday he criticized the billionaire for silencing others.

Torba invited disaffected X users to come to his platform instead.
