<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> offered reassurances on Saturday to podcaster Tim Pool over how X, formerly known as Twitter, contends with users who identify as transgender.
&#8220;I will be terminating all ad spend commitments and verified accounts over X reinstating the misgendering policy,&#8221; Pool <a href="https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1763760175419154629" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post</a> on Friday.

Pool <a href="https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1763766210624098715" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a separate post that he &#8220;just deleted a 25k ad campaign&#8221; and noted plans for &#8220;200k for march.&#8221;
In response to the first post, Musk said, &#8220;Turns out this was due to a court judgment in Brazil, which is being appealed, but should not apply outside of Brazil.&#8221;

Brazil&#8217;s Supreme Court ruled that homophobic slurs were punishable by prison after it determined homophobia was a crime in 2019, Agence France Presses <a href="https://www.barrons.com/news/brazil-high-court-rules-homophobia-punishable-by-prison-bee14818" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> in August.
Pool had shared a link to a <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4501135-x-revives-policy-targeting-deadnaming-misgendering/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report by The Hill</a> about a &#8220;quiet update&#8221; that appeared to revive a policy X <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/19/tech/twitter-hateful-conduct-policy-transgender-protections/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed</a> last year — after Musk completed a $44 billion takeover of the platform — prohibiting the &#8220;targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.&#8221;
A page on X&#8217;s website that <a href="https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/abusive-behavior" target="_blank" rel="noopener">says it was updated</a> in January 2024 contains a section on &#8220;Use of Prior Names and Pronouns.&#8221; The section claims that X &#8220;will reduce the visibility of posts that purposefully use different pronouns to address someone other than what that person uses for themselves, or that use a previous name that someone no longer goes by as part of their transition.&#8221;
Responding to one X user who shared screen grabs that indicated <a href="https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/hateful-conduct-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a gender identity policy</a> was being enforced, Pool said, &#8220;Hateful conduct.&#8221; He also said, &#8220;X is the woke mind virus,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I hope this gets resolved.&#8221;

Musk replied to that comment prior to his post about Brazil, saying, &#8220;Fixing.&#8221;
Expressing appreciation for the response, Pool <a href="https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1763788631477497912" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;I should always wait because you do always seem to do the right thing or try your best.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;Massive respect.&#8221;

&#8220;There is no reason to have a misgendering or deadnaming policy,&#8221; Pool said in another post. &#8220;If someone is harassing then you can block them.&#8221;
Musk also replied to that post, <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1763957557079544285" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, &#8220;I agree.&#8221;
Pool <a href="https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1764014713258586370" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> a screen grab of that exchange and touted X for having an owner who responds directly to its users.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
X is the only platform where the owner treats you like the customer and tries to engage and make it better
