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:
