Despite Elon Musk portraying himself as a 'free speech absolutist', a number of prominent journalists have been suspended from Twitter.
Elon Musk says a "crazy stalker" mistakenly followed his son thinking it was him.abc.net.au/news/twitter-journalist-ban-over-doxxing/101782888Several prominent journalists have been suspended on Twitter after writing about new owner Elon Musk, with the billionaire tweeting that rules banning the publishing of personal information applied to all, including journalists.
It was unclear if all the journalists whose accounts were suspended had commented on or shared news about @elonjet."Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not," Mr Musk tweeted on Thursday. Sally Buzbee, the Post's executive editor, said Harwell's suspension undermined Mr Musk's claims that he intended to run Twitter as a platform dedicated to free speech.
"I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means," Mr Musk had tweeted in April.The accounts of New York Times reporter Ryan Mac , CNN reporter Donie O'Sullivan , and Mashable reporter Matt Binder @MattBinder were also suspended on Thursday, as was independent journalist Aaron Rupar , who covers US policy and politics.
