OAN Geraldyn Berry UPDATED 2:36 PM PT – Friday, December 16, 2022
Elon Musk is receiving backlash from both sides of the Atlantic after Twitter suspended the accounts of several prominent journalists from the New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, and other popular liberal commentators. The company claimed that the accounts were “manually reviewed.”
This comes as part of Musk’s attempt to crack down on the sharing of the whereabouts of his private jet.
Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood.
Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family.
On Wednesday, a stalker pursued a vehicle carrying Musk’s son. The man climbed onto the hood of the car. At the time, the man was unaware that Musk was not in the vehicle. This act enraged the Twitter CEO. Due to this incident, later in the day the account of Jack Sweeney was suspended. The 20-year-old University of Central Florida college student is in charge of the account @ElonJet. The Twitter account that tracks Musk’s flight trajectories and posts the information for the public to see.
“Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not,” Musk tweeted.
Same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else
The Twitter CEO claimed that his new “doxxing” policy had been broken by the suspended accounts and that they revealed what he claims to be “assassination coordinates” on him.
They posted my exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service
Many accounts have voiced criticism of the Head of Trust and Safety’s content moderation decisions. One of the most vocal public figures who is commenting on the issue is Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)
As someone who has been subject to real + dangerous plots, I do get it. I didn’t have security and have experienced many scary incidents.
In fact, many of the right-wing outlets you now elevate published photos of my home, car, etc.
Musk brushed the criticism, by simply responding, “You first.”
Democrats are complaining that Musk’s failure comes as a contradiction to his claimed commitment to free speech that he made when he purchased the social media platform. Some of the consequences of Musk’s recent actions include his flagship company Tesla’s stock hitting a new two-year low.
