Also: What message does this send to *other* reporters--the ones who haven't (yet) been purged? Is it tenable for reporters to stay on Twitter now that Musk has made clear that they're there at his pleasure, and that he'll eject them if they cross his arbitrary lines?
@jameeljaffer exactly. this is going to make journalists, who have historically been a content-creating lifeblood for Twitter, extremely reluctant to invest another moment into the platform.
