Jemima Goldsmith Urges Elon Musk to Lift X Throttling on Posts About Imran Khan

The appeal follows UN warnings that Khan’s prolonged isolation may constitute torture.

Overview

  • Goldsmith publicly asked Musk to remove what she calls visibility filtering that she says has cut the reach of her posts about Khan’s detention to almost zero.
  • She cited Grok analytics claiming a fall from 400–900 million monthly impressions in 2023–early 2024 to 28.6 million total in 2025, with a brief spike when Pakistan’s X ban ended in May.
  • Goldsmith alleges her two sons have been blocked from contact with their father and threatened with arrest if they try to visit Pakistan.
  • Khan’s sisters reported after jail visits that he remains in solitary confinement and under psychological pressure, while asserting he is alive and in stable health.
  • UN torture rapporteur Alice Jill Edwards has warned that Khan’s reported 23‑hour‑a‑day isolation, constant surveillance, and lack of outdoor activity or adequate medical care could amount to torture, with no reported corrective action by authorities or X.
