Yep. I wonder what went on behind the scenes there. I'm sure the next owner of Twitter will be happy to share all that in 'The Twitter Files'. They'll also be a lot more interesting than the present installments.

Maybe the booing in person and Dave Chappelle's comment about the booing being pending civil unrest spooked Elon a bit. His right wing shit posting on twitter reaches a lot of people and many dislike him for it. I've been seeing a lot more people posting about boycotting Tesla and associating ownership with his views. I drive a Tesla and frequently people bring up Elon to me. I usually just tell people I don't like/c…

I don't want to support this guy in any way shape or form. The damage he's doing is rapidly undoing any good that he's done so far and he's on the expressway to net-negative territory.

I'm sure you have a point though: to step out of his bubble of yes-men must have been a cold shower.

Elon Musk @elonmusk: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603181423787380737 "Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation. This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info. Posting locations someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis isn’t a safety problem, so is ok."

This seems like a reasonable policy to me, especially when involving stalking well-known people (as opposed to taking a selfie with my mates at Micky D).

The problem is, that Elon very publicly and explicitly promised that @ElonJet would be allowed to continue as it is. His words mean less and less…

They banned it again about 8 minutes ago. I was scrolling through the linked thread when it got suspended and the tweets disappeared.

He should make up his mind about this 'free speech' thing and then stick to whatever decision he comes up with for at least a couple of months. This is beyond silly.

Yeah... if he really cared about anyone else's personal safety other than his own, he wouldn't have fired the twitter safety team, and then not said anything about a former twitter executive.

One can only hope.

Elon posted some info[0] that gives it some context:

"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."

Make that what you will.

Elon posted just now saying the reason for this was someone was stalking his child last night thinking it was him and blocked the car.

Very believable.

Of course spouting a load of nonsense about former Twitter employees to the point that they have to evacuate their home is perfectly ok by that same token.

Other accounts that used by journalists and OSINT community still remain banned: https://twitter.com/PutinJet https://twitter.com/RUOligarchJets https://twitter.com/USAirForceVIP https://twitter.com/AirForceTrack https://twitter.com/bezosjets Do you know any other banned accounts? Let's make a list to make sure they all restored. UPD: More accounts... https://twitter.com/zuccjet

https://twitter.com/SpaceXJet And his own account: https://twitter.com/JxckSweeney

Why is Jxck's personal account banned? What did he do?

Applying bans retroactively seems very unfair. (Unless this is an automated mistake.)
