Musk suppressing journalists that are inconvenient for him is one of the very few Twitter/Musk topics that shouldn't be ignored.

All, except Olbermann, are back on but Olbermann is tweeting from his dog’s account. Elon posted not to give out info in real time about where he was because his toddler lil X was put in danger by a stalker.

Publicly available tracking data doesn't show your real time live data, just that of the plane. The stalker didn't meet them at the airport. Reporting plane tracking data wasn't banned on Twitter before Musk took over.
You also call the dog rescue account Olbermann tweeting from his dog's account, just like Musk.

And that the journalists are already back on Twitter posting away.

I wish people on here would stop telling people what to do - most posters on Twitter are Democrats. Do you guys want all Dems to leave Twitter and the worlds largest source for news to be all Republicans?

The majority of people on Twitter are YOUNG. Do you want them to have no Democratic input?

He just suspended two more journalists from Wapo after they nicely asked him for a comment on a story they were writing.



Where in my post did I tell anyone to leave twitter? I was just pointing out to OP that some DU discussions on Musk are newsworthy?

The majority of people on Twitter are YOUNG. Do you want them to have no Democratic input?


Maybe you meant your reply for somebody else?

Take care and have a nice Sunday.

After 2 days the journalists are back Tweeting away.

Lately, Elon seems to have his toddler lil X with him a lot at work, meetings etc.

Saying that there is publicly available data on where corporate jets go does not put the lives of the families of the CEOs of the corporations in danger.

But he's constantly banning people from Twitter for BS reasons. That tells us what he's like. That is much more important than a pie-in-the-sky "if no one mentions him, he'll behave nicely" wish,
