“The company hasn’t explained to the journalists why it took down the accounts and made their profiles and past tweets disappear. But Musk took to Twitter on Thursday night to accuse journalists of sharing private information about his whereabouts that he described as ‘basically assassination coordinates.’ He provided no evidence for that claim.” Twitter suspends journalists who wrote about owner Elon Musk.
