Elon Musk Restores Some Suspended Journalists’ Twitter Accounts but Keeps Others in the Dark:- Elon Musk has reversed suspensions placed on several journalists’ Twitter accounts following the results of Thursday’s vote, while others remain unclear on when or if their suspensions will be lifted.

Musk claimed in a tweet that the accounts were suspended for posting “my exact real-time location, basically the coordinates of the assassination, in (apparent) direct violation of the Twitter Terms of Service.”

“The same rules of doxing apply to ‘journalists’ that apply to everyone else,” he said.

CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy said Harwell and O’Sullivan were given the option of restoring or deleting their tweets about @ElonJet before appealing the decision. According to Darcy, both Harwell and O’Sullivan have filed appeals.
