    Elon is losing it today. He's banning reporters now.
    Musk joined a Twitter Space to say the suspensions were related to new rules banning private jet trackers. Twitter suspended an account that tweeted the whereabouts of his plane.



    Twitter suspends journalists who have been covering Elon Musk and the company.


    Thursday's suspensions come as Musk has backtracked on his promise that he would run Twitter as a free speech absolutist.

    Twitter suspended several high-profile journalists Thursday evening who have been covering the company and Elon Musk.

    The suspensions come a day after Twitter changed its policies around accounts that track private jets, including one owned by Elon Musk.

    The accounts of Ryan Mac of The New York Times, Donie O'Sullivan of CNN, Drew Harwell of The Washington Post, Matt Binder of Mashable, Micah Lee of The Intercept and independent journalists Aaron Rupar and Tony Webster had all been suspended as of Thursday evening.

    It was not immediately clear why their accounts were suspended.

    The Twitter account for Mastodon, a platform billed as an alternative, was also suspended early Thursday evening.

      I jumped off the Elon train when he started talking about implanting microchips into peoples' brains. He's been insane for a while now.

        he's suspending reporters for 7 days for putting his family in danger. He should do it longer if they continue and I bet he will.

        Good for him.

            He literally OWNS the platform…he can do whatever he wants with it.

            There is a big difference between an owner/CEO regulating what is posted vs some hippy vegan pencil pushing wallflower that got their panties in a twist because they didn’t like what someone said about the jab and how dangerous it is.

              Now he is peddling a completely made up fake story about himself and his family being stalked. Some are dumb enough to believe him still. Elon "Space Karen" off the rails. This might be the most epic fall from grace/midlife CRISIS story of a century,

                Got it! So the Elon fan boy position is that when twitter was not owned by Elon, they can't make their own terms of service an ban blatant white supremacy, anti Semitism, Russian propaganda and covid misinformation, and that doing so was a violation of the 1st amendment, however, now that elon, your lord and savior owns it, he can ban journalists and anyone else who calls him names...

                The Elon fan worship is eerily similar to the trump worship, it takes a certain cuck to display this behavior. Here's a pro tip, you aren't a bitch, pull your pants up.

                    You are by far the most uniformed poster. Virtually anything you post, rest assured the opposite is true.

                          For us it's a fall from grace, but in the interest of turning a negative into a positive, Elon joining the right wing conspirasphere might get people who were rolling coal on Teslas 5 years ago to turn around buy EVs now that Elon is "one of them." I don't think it's an intentional move by Musk, but if left wing partisans buy Chevy Bolts and right wing partisans buy Model 3s the atmosphere wins.

                              I don't think it's intentional either. Elon has always been about the $, losing a third of his net worth just to switch teams seems unlikely. And it remains to be seen if right wing partisans start buying EV's, meanwhile TSLA in a dangerous downward spiral with Elon selling in large chunks.

                              If he didn't have a God complex before gaining "World's Richest Man" title, that must have sent him over the edge, one unforced error after another, it will make for some great documentaries.

                                    I think he saw the correction for Tesla and played into it. He made way too big a deal of Bill Gates shorting the stock. I think he's onboard with the drop for now.

                                              The FBI and other law enforcement organizations treated Twitter as a “subsidiary,” flagging numerous accounts for purportedly harmful “misinformation” since January of 2020, according to the sixth installment of the “Twitter Files” released Friday.
                                              Independent journalist Matt Taibbi described the FBI’s relationship with Twitter as having a “master-canine quality” with “constant and pervasive” contact between the bureau and the social media giant.


                                              “Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth,” Taibbi wrote, referring to the executive who helped suppress The Post’s reporting on first son Hunter Biden’s extensive overseas business interests.

                                              Taibbi also found that a “surprisingly high number” of the FBI’s missives were requests “for Twitter to take action on election misinformation,” including obvious jokes from accounts with low number of followers.

                                                The elon delusion is real, no facts, no evidence, all it takes is one tweet from elon "space karen" musk and these fan boys are jumping all over his cok...gross, weird cuckoldry. Kermit seems to be cuck #1


                                                Will Elon run for office...? You heard it here first.

                                                  Sounds to me like Elon has the lefties triggered into a void of hypocrisy.

                                                  If you can't take it, don't dish it out. How wonderfully simple life can be for the mentally secure.

                                                  Why should Elon not run.?. Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris all won with little brain power.

                                                    Ehh I know you're a dumb fk, but Elon puts himself in the spotlight every chance he gets, not me or any "lefty".. first he thinks he is saving the entire planet, then he is going to colonize mars, then he says he will connect the human mind to the internet, then he goes dark musk and says he is saving free speech, then saving the Republican Party, now the media is stalking him.. you can see the decline if you don't have your nose buried in his arse.
