Musk Disables Twitter Spaces After Clash With Journalists

[Temeret]

Twitter Inc.’s live audio service, Twitter Spaces, is down after a number of journalists that had just been suspended from the social network found they could still participate on it.

Twitter owner Elon Musk said late Thursday night that the company was fixing an old bug and the audio service “should be working tomorrow.” Earlier in the evening, Musk’s network threw reporters from CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times, among others, into a seven-day suspension for allegedly disclosing the location of his private jet.

1. Sooooooo Elon is fiddling around while Twitter is burning. Mixed feelings about it for me.

5. Yes, he could be inadvertently

doing the world a favor, but who knows what might end up replacing it down the road.

10. My biggest fear is somehow Florida Man will get involved with it somehow. I've read somewhere ...

... Florida Man has sold 29,000 of his NFTs. No doubt some of those are cooked numbers, but still.

8. Twitter is where I get most UKR news from valid sources.

I dont want it to go away I just want him to sell it to someone else

9. I think that's my thought pretty much. Sell it to someone else works well for me.

6. I wish news sources would stop describing the suspension as a 7-day suspension

When at least some of the journalists were told the suspension was permanent - and had receipts to prove what they were told.

At a minimum, any news source reporting on the suspensions should explain the progressions - not just simply adopt Musk's after-the-fact explanation of the suspensions.

12. With the exception of Keith Olbermann it was a 2 day suspension

Elon took a poll on how long to suspend them. Spaces is back up

[Ms. Toad]

13. I understand what happened after the fact.

My problem is that it is being reported as if Musk's lies are being reported as if that is where the suspension started. The initial notice which went to the journalists was that they were permanently suspended. After that didn't fly well, Musk (falsely) claimed to the public that it was a 7-day suspension. When that still didn't fly, he did a poll - which he lost, claimed the poll was flawed, did another poll, which he lost, and then unsuspended them at 2 days.

Reporting needs to start at the beginning (the permanent suspension), not at Musk's lie that he only initially suspended them for 7b days.
