Senator Danes said the photo is no different from what Montana residents share on social media every day.
Elon Musk said Tuesday that Twitter will be more receptive to other values from now on after recovering the Montana Sen. Steve Danes account that was suspended due to a hunting photo.
“Going forward, Twitter will broadly embrace different values rather than trying to impose its own values on the world,” Musk wrote.
The tweet comes shortly after the social media platform revived the Daines account, which was suspended Monday night after a Montana senator posted a photo of him and his wife following a “successful Montana antelope hunt.”
Danes said he received a notice that Twitter had suspended his account for displaying “graphic violence.” The issue was resolved Tuesday afternoon.
Sen. Ted Cruz, D-Tex., shared a photoshopped image of Danes posing for a photo while holding the photo that caused his Twitter account to be suspended. Cruz signed, “#FreeSteveDaines.”
After recovering his account, Danes tweeted: “I’m free! Thank you @elonmusk.
“I am grateful to Elon Musk for reaching out to me to resolve this issue and I am glad that he recognizes that freedom of speech is the foundation of our country and promptly restored my Twitter account after he learned of its suspension ‘ Danes said. statement.
The senator said the initial ban was “disappointing” as the photo in question was no different from what “Montanese people share on social media every day.”

“This is our way of life in Montana and we are proud of it. I’m glad Elon Musk is acknowledging this,” Danes said. “The rest of the country benefits from adopting different thoughts and values, including those of Montana.”
