Besides Aaron Rupar, at least 4 other journalists have been suspended by Twitter

From Ben Collins of NBC News:










Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.


The NYTimes' @rmac18 has been suspended from Twitter. He's been on the Elon Musk beat.


Mashable's @mattbinder has been suspended from Twitter. He's been on the Elon Musk beat.



Collins also tweeted and pinned this:






Uh, just in case:

Buns. This guy is such a dictator want to be. I gave up Twitter (my main social media) all because his vanity made the place unbearable. Despite me blocking him.
