Few days ago, Elon Musk witnessed a shocking moment in his life when he got booed by people in the crowd during a comedy show of Dave Chappelle. A day later, he went onto ban several renowned journalists from the social media platform Twitter. The overall situation then took an interesting turn after Twitch streamer HasanAbi reacted to this decision taken by the business magnate and the new Twitter boss.

In case anyone missed to keep track of events, Thursday evening turned out to be very unfortunate for some journalists. Twitter banned their accounts without giving a proper reason initially. Later, it was found that the suspended accounts belonged to all the journalists who covered Elon Musk and criticized him.
Twitter’s new boss later came forward to reveal the reason behind the ban of journalists from outlets like CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post, and many others. In one of his recent tweets, he wrote that the suspended reporters tracked his “exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service.”

Here, the violation he is referring to is related to rules and regulations mentioned by Twitter. Elon Musk had recently revealed that he would take legal action against anyone who posts information about the real location of his private jet. It seems like the banned journalists were the ones who committed this mistake, according to the billionaire Tesla co-founder.
Meanwhile, streamer HasanAbi didn’t waste a single second in reacting to this incident. In a session with fellow streamer Valkyrae, he was seen going through the Twitter pages of banned accounts belonging to some of the most prominent journalists. Not to mention that he, and Rachell, were shocked to see this kind of action taken by Mr. Musk.
It looks like the mass ban by Twitter boss reminded HasanAbi of the famous Marvel villain Thanos, from the 2018 movie Avengers: Infinity War. In that film, the character ends up snapping everyone in the universe, wiping out half of the population within a second.
Comparing the real-life situation to the movie, HasanAbi said that “Elon Musk is literally doing the snap like Thanos”. Watch the clip below to see his reaction:

Interestingly, Hasan even tried to see if he gets banned or not by posting something anti-Musk. Surprisingly, he didn’t receive any suspension threat on his account. Meanwhile, the Tesla co-founder dropped another update on Twitter regarding the bans. He revealed that the accounts will remain suspended for a duration of seven days. Previously, many people believed they were going to be permanent.
