X reached out to me, saying we violated some ToS by selling data and selling some things that bypassed API keys.

We don't do that, never did, never will.

They linked directly to my open source code as the reason for deletion.

Code I didn't even mostly write, was hacked together from other OSS stuff

They said they'd get off our back if we paid $50k/mo for the Enterprise license

We pay $1k/mo for the yellow check and $200/mo for the dev license

Why would an enterprise account change my ability to publish open source code?

It was extortion, plain and simple, and it shouldn't be legal

I don't want to be part of a system like that. It's everything I stand against.

Debating whether to make this a legal issue or not

Git blame shows you as the original author of the Eliza Twitter client.

You did a token sale around Twitter agents that bypass the API.

Seems like they may have a case.

Sorry, around a single agent that bypassed the API.

This also is not what the 1st amendment does.

I actually did a token sale around an autonomous investor agent

But yes I made some code that bypasses the API (which is legal, common and unrelated to the platform) 1st amendment

That is what they are citing
