Biggs, who merely entered the US Capitol, was shockingly handed a 17-year sentence. Despite his known spirited presence on social media and during protests, X has not clarified the specific reason for his account’s suspension, nor any violations of the platform’s rules.
According to Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys Chairman and frequent collaborator with Biggs, the reasons behind the suspension remain a mystery.
”Elon Musk has undoubtedly fixed many, if not most of the censorship problems on the platform. However, it still appears that there are some ghosts in the machine that lead to accounts like Biggs’ getting suspended or even earning permanent bans. Here’s to hoping this suspension gets lifted, as we still have so much work to do in terms of restoring the promise of America. X is a big part of that process in terms of elevating dissident voices,”

Tarrio, in addition to launching an online shop for conservative apparel and a podcast network, expressed his frustration on X, declaring that plans to invest in X’s Gold verification have been paused until Biggs’ account is reinstated.
I was about to pay for Gold verification on both my shop account and our new Podcast network. That would be $2000 a month not including the affiliate badges and blue checks.
I’m suspending those plans until we get @RealJoeBiggs acct restored. @X @Support @elonmusk what’s up man?

Since Elon Musk took the helm at Twitter, now rebranded as X, there have been noted attempts by alt-left factions to silence voices like Biggs’ by mass reporting America First and free speech champions.
“I thought X was a free speech platform. Once again, we are silenced if we speak out against certain groups and organizations,”
