And anyone can criticize him for making stupid rules, just like any other CEO of a company.
Free Speech! Certainly within the realms of a so-called Free Speech Absolutist!
Twitter applies 7-day suspension to half a dozen journalists

Re: Twitter applies 7-day suspension to half a dozen journalists
#612The wave of bans from the muskjet thing has been quite dramatic. It'll be interesting to see if the people who've been lauding musk for his supposedly pro free speech attitudes will reckon with what's been happening in actuality, or if they'll just accept this as "freedom for me but not for thee".
Doxxing adds nothing to the conversation. It’s not an opinion, an argument, or an artful expression — forms that free speech laws are designed to protect. Rather, doxxing is merely harassment and adds nothing substantive. Same argument can be made for racial slurs and the like. Anyone pretending otherwise is being disingenuous.

If you go out just a little bit not everyone hates him. Personally I think he hasn’t don’t anything overt yet. So he banned a few journalists, do you know why? No right? So why judge so early?
The journos were doxxing his location. See pretty unethical on their part, if proven true.

Those journalists weren't reporting specific locations of his jet...they were reporting on a legit news story about it. Musk didn't like it so the journalists are now banned. The dude is truly off his rocker now. The "rules" are whatever he makes up on the spot. He's self-destructing before our eyes...no longer the richest man in the world. Telsa stock tanking all because he can't STFU and acts like a spoiled 12 year…
> Those journalists weren't reporting specific locations of his jet...they were reporting on a legit news story about it. Do you have evidence of that? He claims they were reporting the location.

#618So this is how Twitter goes out: not with a bang but with a seemingly endless stream of stories about the little ways Elon is ruining the service each day. Just staggers me that Elon could have just… not done any of this. And yet here we are. He’s had to sell billions in Tesla stock to finance this ongoing mayhem, this is surely going to be up there as one of the greatest examples of hubris in modern business.
What if he's slowly trashing it so that it's dead for the 2024 elections but not so dead so quickly that something else has replaced it by 2024? It'd arguably be nice to have a national election without Twitter.

He just tweeted that doxxing is a 7 day ban.

1. The jet’s location is publicly available by law.
2. No one knows who’s in “Elons jet”.
If Elon wants to travel private without anyone knowing he is he can simply charter a jet. This is what most celebrities do.
