Masvidal was always against the cancel culture on Twitter. Being a Donald Trump supporter, he did not take it kindly when the platform banned the former President of the United States. After Musk took over the company and immediately made significant changes, ‘Gamebred’ put forward a request to him.
Jorge Masvidal makes a request to Elon Musk
After the announcement of Musk’s takeover of Twitter, several popular figures have returned to the platform. These include the likes of MMA star Gina Carano. As the changes started to roll in, Jorge Masvidal tweeted a request to Elon Musk.
.@elonmusk could you take me out of twitter time out? Thanks

In his tweet, ‘Gamebred’ asked Musk to take him out of a Twitter time-out. It was unclear what Masvidal was referring to. Several fans in the comment section said that he was talking about shadow-banning. Meanwhile, some fans also pointed out that Masvidal had not been shadow banned as he could tweet. They suggested a lack of engagement on tweets and posts did not necessarily mean that he was shadow banned.
This is not the first time ‘Gamebred’ fired shots at Twitter. Masvidal was an avid Trump supporter during the elections. He was also one of Trump’s favorite UFC fighters. Trump showed up to watch Masvidal compete for the BMF title. Therefore, Masvidal was upset and threatened to leave Twitter after they permanently banned Trump in 2021.
While it would be interesting to see if Masvidal receives a response from Musk, many of his fans are interested in knowing when he will make his UFC comeback.

While many fans thought Masvidal was in a tough spot, his head coach Mike Brown begged to differ. Brown said that Masvidal still had big options available to him. He suggested that a bout against a returning Conor McGregor would be a big PPV.
