@micahflee @taylorlorenz did you see it being stated as permanent elsewhere? Just curious since Lorenz does not mention that in the substack post and I'm wondering if this is going to be an ongoing thing he does with temporarily suspending journalists. There clearly needs to be collective action taken from media outlets

God do I want to know more about the potential article that has him this riled.

@AnarchoDoggo @micahflee @taylorlorenz I don't think it's productive to debate how "permanent" it is, since Elon's been undoing a bunch of permabans and flipping switches willy-nilly

@mulad yeah it's not a debate, just a clarifying question. It's ridiculous in any case but if it was advertised as permanent all the more so (and probably indicative of how sensitive he is about whatever requests for comment Lorenz had).

In any case media outlets need to be backing their people harder and make some coordinated, substantive moves
