I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.

Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.

Leave. Now.

@dangillmor he did say he's bringing them back because of the poll responses, but honestly it feels as this is a good escape for him from this mess.

Everyone he deleted yesterday gets reinstated, and the pressure lowers off him after a tough 48hr press cycle. I really hope the media and ppl dont let him brush this under the carpet so easily.

@theblondlife @dangillmor
I had exactly the same thought.
