Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk is now suspending some journalists who write about him, including reporters from The New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN. The journalist suspensions seem to be part of Musk's quest to erase references or links to the now-suspended ElonJet account that used publicly available data from ADS-B Exchange to track Musk's private jet.
Musk claimed the suspended journalists violated the new policy that bans sharing of live locations in most scenarios. Musk wrote that the "same doxxing rules apply to 'journalists' as to everyone else" and that the suspended journalists "posted my exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service."
