Gab CEO Announces Gab AI's Suspension On X
The CEO of Gab published a post on August 1, 2025, on X announcing X's suspension of the Gab AI account. He captioned the post: "We're looking into this and have reached out to the X support team. In the meantime you can continue using Gab AI in the main dashboard here: Please support our efforts to build this great product by upgrading to Gab AI Plus. Thank you for your attention to this matter."
Four days later, on August 5, he published an update on Gab AI's X suspension. The post stated that he had "not heard a single word back from X on this [suspension] even after backchanneling through three different teams on their [X's] end." He also complained that Gab spends "five figures a month" on X, and as such should not be treated this way. He concluded that X was uncooperative because: "Gab AI is a serious threat and a very real competitor in the AI space," which is why X lets "the @AskPerplexity bot and many others here and don't care."
Neo-Nazis On X React To Gab AI's Suspension
A neo-Nazi X user published a post on August 4, 2025 that also claimed X had suspended Gab AI's account because "Gab was absolutely dragging Grok, that's why lol."
Another neo-Nazi X user reacted to Gab's CEO's post on August 1 claiming that the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) was responsible for Gab AI being banned on X. The neo-Nazi account posted a screenshot from CAM's website that called for "tech companies, regulators, and civil society" to support and enact "banning explicitly bigoted systems like Gab AI from mainstream platforms."
