The only victim in Elon's beef with journalists is Twitter

The new policy, as Musk explained it, bars users from sharing real-time information on a person's whereabouts. It coincides with, an account that tweets out the location of Musk's private jet based on publicly available flight data. The journalists' only misstep seems to have been linking to this tracker — but both Mac and O'Sullivan said they hadn't been given a reason for their bans.

Around 85% of users turn to Twitter to watch, read, or listen to the news once a day, while 83% of people tweet about the news,the company conducted in the US with YouGov and Sparkler between December 2021 and May 2022. The advantage for Twitter is that it gets a bunch of content from professional reporters for free and, at its best, becomes easily more powerful than any single TV channel or publication. But Twitter is less important to news organizations, which. Twitter needs the news, but the news doesn't always need Twitter.

A man in a black balaclava deliberately drove his car in front of Elon's car. Elon wasn't in it, his son was. Elon is facing genuine physical threats from obsessives & stalkers. Ending real time location tracking of Elon & his family is a basic essential security measure.

Not true, they will not be missed one second and if a thousand of them get their accounts permanently suspended, may it be 10,000 please. Then there are simply 10,000 less Twitter accounts and much, much less one sided bullshit on Twitter. Go Elon!

if only victim is twitter, why you keep crying?
