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 imagine if CNN, Washington Post, et al not only left Twitter in mass, but pulled their twitter share buttons off their sites. that is the only thing that Musk and his fellow fascists understand. Twitter has no value except that people use it.

@AliceMarshall Great suggestion. He won't be able to monetize right wing twitter any better than Parler.
