On Thursday night, Twitter banned more than half a dozen of far-left journalists from CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, and other independent reporters who had been reporting on Elon Musk and Tesla.
The decision comes after Elon Musk declared war on sharing location information on the platform following a stalking incident with his son X.
“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,” Musk wrote.
“Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family,” he continued.
Jack Sweeney, is a 20-year-old college sophomore and programmer who started the @elonjet account to track Elon Musk.
Musk suspended Sweeney’s account immediately.
“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,” Musk wrote.
On Thursday evening, Musk also suspended former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, The New York Times’ Ryan Mac, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, Mashable’s Matt Binder, Micah Lee of The Intercept and independent journalists Aaron Rupar, Keith Olbermann and Tony Webster.
Musk said, “same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else.”
Good for him. That doxing crap has to stop. I love that the looney left is howling at the moon over this, but if you act like an imbecile, you get treated like one.
Getting a Taste of their own medicine now !!!!! LOL LOL
maybe some people will come to their houses and threaten them, their families and pets. oh yea, that won’t happen because the “right” wing people are law abiding citizens who don’t act like animals
