I saw the video in my feed this morning, and then found several instances later when searching. While I don't doubt the bans happened, I suspect Elon would simply reduce the "reach" of those posts instead which would allow him to deny employing censorship.

I agree we need evidence, since this could just be copyright takedown, but I've also seen no evidence he cares about his own consistency, nor do his fans expect it from him.
You aren't generally allowed to film stand-up shows, are you? Seems like it would be easy to use the copyright excuse to take down an embarrassing video.
Even if he wanted to reduce the "reach" of said video, now that "the algorithm" has ahold of it ("trending"), good luck doin' anything "shady" about it now (without it gettin' noticed and ridiculed to high heaven). Totally too late. Elon's just gonna have to cope… ;)
It was also at a Chappelle show. His Netflix special was controversial. I'd expect the audience would be more supportive of Elon than the general public.
Shouldn't this be verifiable in some way? Like if enough people start posting about mastodon and then comparing their notes?
I see a lot of posts about Elon(twitter) allegedly taking down posts and limiting the reach of posts but I am not sure how much of it to believe. Especially with the limiting claims, I don't know how you would measure when its being artificially limited and when people just don't care to engage with a post.
I don't doubt that there is some level of manipulation going on but that is always the case with social media.
When searching for "Elon" the first result is "Elon Booed". Not sure about earlier, but the related videos are showing up as of now in the results, along with some tweets about posters getting banned.

Edit: ah yes, downvoted. I guess it's controversial now as to whether people booing at someone's show would be something they wouldn't like.
It's currently top of trending, so this doesn't appear to be the case.
That was posted on reddit and was working now the account is banned.
The only thing I saw was a reddit thread linking to a no longer existing account.
Legend: “It sounds like some of those people you fired are in the audience.”
Later in the video, Chappelle says: “All these people that are booing, I’m just pointing out the obvious — they have terrible seats in the stadium.”
Ignore the noise, get off the platform, build something better.
(Evergreen: now is also a good time also to dump your TSLA and take the hit and also sell the car.)
