Elon Musk is Still Silencing the Journalists he Banned from Twitter.

It looks like our accounts have been reinstated, but it's an illusion: We're actually locked out and can't post anything without deleting specific tweets the billionaire doesn't like.

Elon Musk Is Still Silencing the Journalists He Banned From Twitter

To you, it looks like Musk unblocked journalists like me. It’s an illusion: The truth is that we are still locked out of our accounts.

Why do y’all want to go back? Not a rhetorical question. If the answer is “that’s where my audience is” then he is holding them hostage.

I think some want into their dm's and content. And some of these guys have made clear they would like to primarily use Mastodon and will transition.

I’d prefer an answer from one of them. I keep asking, but not one response from any of them.

@TradingPlacesResearch I definitely would be interested in their reasoning on going back to posting on Twitter. It seems the major content creators are leaving and followers are building up here. It would be short sighted on their part imo.

@chaos More short sighted to let a man with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old control your audience. Mind-bending.

@TradingPlacesResearch Definitely short sighted to go back to posting on twitter. Sustainability is elsewhere.
