X reinstates ‘White Dudes for Harris’ account after backlash for suspension following $4m fundraiser

Elon Musk’s social media platform X reinstated the “White Dudes for Harris” account after sparking outrage by briefly suspending it.

“White Dudes for Harris” was reinstated on Tuesday and is back to posting to its nearly 100,000 followers. The group, composed of white men who support the vice president, is not affiliated with Kamala Harris’ campaign.

The account celebrated its return to X in a post on Tuesday afternoon: “WE ARE SO BACK! After a groundswell of grassroots complaints to@ElonMusk from the<a rel=«nofollow» target="_blank" href=«https://x.com/hashtag/WhiteDudesforHarris?src=» https:> #WhiteDudesforHarris

community, our account was reinstated & we’re allowed to post again. Thank you for coming to our aid & carrying on this conversation in our absence.”

“Thanks to everyone for your likes, comments, shares, DMs, and everything else you did to put the pressure on@ElonMusk and Twitter,” Mike Nellis, one of the organizers, wrote on his personal account.

The suspension happened on Monday evening after nearly 200,000 Democrats, including celebrities and potential running mates, rallied together on a Zoom call to express their support for Harris’ White House run. That meeting resulted in$4 million in donations.

Some of the group organizers and others on X blamed Musk, who has publicly endorsed Donald Trump, personally for the suspension.

On their personal accounts, organizers Nellis and Ross Morales Rocketto both <a rel=«nofollow» target="_blank" href=«https://x.com/RossMoRock/status/1818135738921197609?ref_src=» https:>accused

Elon Musk of getting “scared” of the group’s success. Nellis joked: “I ask this question seriously… are we the first white dudes to ever get suspended by@elonmusk‘s Twitter? I think we are.”
