The pettiest man on the planet banned at least nine journalists from his social networking site. The journalists have not been told what caused the bans, but it seems that many had commented on the account that tracked the private jet.
The ban on the ElonJet account came after Musk banned it on Wednesday, saying it was a threat to his family. The college student who ran the account will be taken to court by Musk. Musk had said that the account wouldn't be banned because of his belief in free speech.
Musk appeared to confirm the bans were all about his private jet, writing on the social networking site, "Same doxxing rules apply to 'journalists' as to everyone else."
Musk joined a conversation hosted by Notopoulos in which he said that journalists weren't special and would be banned for doing "doxxing" Musk said the journalists who were banned shared his address. Musk just left the chat when the journalists tried to ask him follow up questions.
Musk said that you would get suspended.
An independent journalist, who used to work at Vox, said that he was banned from the social networking site.
It would be great if someone at the micro-blogging site could explain the rationale for this. As an independent journalist, it hurts when you're cut off from a huge part of your audience on a social networking site.
According to the head of trust and safety at the social network, these accounts were putting people at risk.
I can tell you that we will suspend any accounts that violate our privacy policies and put other users at risk.
The journalists who have been suspended are listed below.
Even though he was suspended, Matt Binder was able to join a conversation with journalists. He can speak in a Twitter Space, but he can't see his notifications. According to Binder, his account is permanently in read only mode.
Jack Sweeney, the 20-year-old college student in Florida who ran the ElonJet account, also spoke during the conversation with the reporters. CNN's Donie O' Sullivan reached out to theLAPD, which claimed a police report had never been filed about an incident involving someone supposedly stalking Musk's 2 year old child.
I think it all began with Donie O'Sullivan. They said they didn't file a police report.
Since taking over, the rules have never been more restrictive than they are today. Anti-Muslim bigots, far-right insurrectionists, and neo-Nazis are the only people who seem to be given carte blanche on the platform.
There are a small number of people who have been reinstated.
The New York Times said in a statement that the suspension of the accounts of several prominent journalists is questionable and unfortunate.
Ryan and The Times didn't receive an explanation about why this happened. We hope that all of the journalists' accounts are back up and running.

At 11:50 pm, there was a new update. Musk's comments will be included in a conversation on the social networking site.
