Elon Musk, the new “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator” — as listed on his profile’s bio — took action Monday after Arizona Republican secretary of state nominee Mark Finchem’s Twitter account was “locked” from “speaking truth”, days before the November 8 election.
Finchem posted a screenshot on Truth Social of a notice he received from Twitter that said his account was temporarily placed in “read-only mode” for allegedly violating the platform’s rules.
“Twitter has blocked my account from speaking truth with one week left until the election. They are trying to put their thumb on the scales of this election. Tag Elon Musk and tell him to unban me right now. I am the Secretary of State nominee in a swing state running against the criminal Soros-funded candidate,” AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem wrote on Truth Social.
Following Finchem’s post on Truth Social, several prominent voices on Twitter tagged the Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator, Elon Musk, seeking his attention over the matter.
Jenna Ellis, a former Trump lawyer, posted Mr. Finchem’s statement on Twitter, prompting Musk to reply, “Looking into it”.
Looking into it

Less than an hour later, Finchem was able to post to Twitter again and thanked the Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator.
“We are back! Thank you Elon Musk for stopping the commie who suspended me from Twitter a week before the election. Twitter is much better with you at the helm,” the Arizona Republican secretary of state nominee wrote.

After Finchem’s account was unlocked and restored, conservatives praised Elon Musk for making Twitter a fair playing field.

AZ Sec. of State candidate @RealMarkFinchem was locked out of Twitter, @ElonMusk saw, looked into it and he’s back within an hour.
Now it’s time to figure out why this keeps happening to Conservatives and put an end to it. pic.twitter.com/P9irxcerkR

Elon Musk just replied to this tweet – "Looking into it." Seriously, @elonmusk is actively replying to conservative users; even me. Can you imagine elitist, stuck-up, pretend hippie, snobs like Jack Dorsey or that anti-free-speech joke who replaced him doing that? https://t.co/s5zkk8ANAI
