Elon wants to pick a public fight with the media. It’s Trumpism 101 to attack to distract from your own issues.

Pick a fight with the media and then censor them like a dictator would. Truly Hitleresque. Truly Stalinesque. Take your pick. This is now objectively even worse than Twitter was before Musk took over.

"Free speech" was a lie from the start and every last one of you who claimed Musk was a "free speech champion" who would "fix Twitter" now owes us an admission you were wrong and an apology.

What an idiot he is. Does he think the media won’t investigate him and write about him if he suspends them from Twitter? The media will hit back with receipts.

Yes, but they’ll have less of a reach without Twitter and before something else really takes its place.

Media don’t need Twitter. Twitter needs media. Tesla needs media. Elon needs media. He can’t hide his failures and losses and dumbassery.

Twitter is a private company. They can do what they want.

Those are the rules, right?

Way back in this thread I said this was one of Elon’s goals for buying Twitter. He hates the media reporting information about him and his companies.

Me again, this is from four years ago.

Right wingers didn’t like that explanation two months ago.

No one is saying it is a crime. It’s stupid and counterproductive and exposes again that he is a whiny snowflake and Twitter is run by his whims.

I think Elon said it was a crime?

The right wingers all think moderation of right wingers is a crime. I’m saying no Democrats are saying it is a crime to suspend media accounts for reporting on Elon but that this is a stupid move that will blow up on him and Twitter and Tesla and SpaceX.

@IGD_News (It’s Going Down) suspended because muh free speech.

[Anonymous]

He’s an agent of chaos, likely supported directly by foreign governments hostile to American rights and democracy.

Why is everyone avoiding the elephant in the room? He has zero loyalty to this country and was raised by an apartheid pervert.

The Chinese government and state media all still have their accounts. Elon won’t dare touch them. He’s a tool of the communist party.

Who’s ignoring it? What can any of us do about this monstrous piece of poop?

Quarterly numbers for Tesla are going to be trash due to China. Stock hit another new 52 week low today, down from $402. Margin call mania manifests itself in Twitter madness.

So far some of the prominent journo accounts I'm already seeing that were suspended as of tonight:

Drew Harwell WaPo
Ryan Mac NYT
Donnie O'Sullivan CNN
Keith Olbermann
Matt Binder Mashable
Micah Lee The Intercept
Aaron Rupar
Tony Webster

And more keep getting reported as suspended. Critique, truth and differences of opinion are no longer welcome on Twitter. There is a Twitter purge underway.

Shameful and disgraceful. Musk and Twitter have become a complete joke.
