Twitter has suspended the accounts of several well-known journalists from major US media outlets, including Ryan Mack of The New York Times, Drew Harwell of The Washington Post and Doni O'Sullivan of CNN. Each user's page posted a message stating that accounts were suspended due to a "violation of Twitter policies."
The businessman himself commented on this blocking:
“They published my exact location in real time, in fact, the coordinates for the assassination attempt on me, which is in direct violation of Twitter rules. Criticizing me all day long is fine, but revealing my real-time location and endangering my family is not.”
In a conversation with The New York Times, some of the blocked journalists said that in their accounts they criticized Musk or wrote about accounts that track private jets.
On the eve of Twitter blocked several accounts that track the movements of American billionaires' planes, including Musk himself.
