Elon can't exactly personally keep track of billions of users and shadowban everyone who complains about him, nor does X have the staff for that
new users on X start deeply buried, basically shadowbanned, in a kind of sandbox that watches behavior if they're a bot or spammer or scammer, it sometimes misfires and the user gets banned until they dox themselves
(and actual scammers have clearly learned how to fool this system better than normal users)
there is some kind of reputation system that decides when to let you out and how much to show your posts to random others
it's just all hidden to users
