Musk suspends journalists from Twitter, claims ‘assassination’ danger

Many of the journalists, including from The Washington Post and New York Times, had written about dramas surrounding billionaire Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter.

No warning. I report on Elon Musk and other topics for The Washington Post and will keep doing so because free speech and transparency are important for the world.

In the last few days I ... wrote about Elon Musk. I posted links to publicly available, legally acquired data as well as links to Mastodon, which also now is banned on Twitter.

Elon Musk is free to ban whoever he wants from Twitter, just like people are free to take their speech somewhere else.

@drewharwell By the way… Welcome to Mastodon. New home of the pre-musk Twitter culture. He thinks he silenced us…
I was talking to people around the world with similar interests before twitter was well known, before Tom started looking for friends on MySpace.
Back in the day, we’d get a domain and create our own chat room/msg boards.
