JD Vance celebrated joining Bluesky on X – but his account almost immediately appeared to be suspended and replaced with a “not found, account suspended” message
Vice President JD Vance’s Bluesky account suddenly faced suspension, a mere ten minutes after he jubilantly announced its activation.
The proactive advocate for online free speech, Vance broadcasted on his X profile his venture into Bluesky – a burgeoning adversary to X, the latter gaining the stamp of approval from the left-leaning online community as a sanctuary post its acquisition by Trump’s mate and tycoon Elon Musk.
On his X feed, Vance posted: “Just set up my page on @bluesky, hope to see you guys there!”.
Yet, Politico’s Ben Jacobs discovered the fresh account seemingly axed, replaced by a stark “Not found, account suspended” message.
Jacobs’ followers didn’t delay their chortles:, reports the Express.

Crowds swarmed Vance’s original announcement, bringing waves of commentary.

Nick Sortor updated, “UPDATE: BlueCry banned the sitting VP for hurting their feelings.”
