Musk reinstates some reporters on Twitter. But their companies never left.

The New York Times called the suspensions “questionable.” CNN said it would “re-evaluate” its relationship with Twitter. The Washington Post demanded that Twitter reinstate the account of one of its technology reporters “immediately,” noting that he had simply reported accurately on Musk. One news start-up, Puck, said it would suspend its paid advertising campaign on Twitter, while another, Semafor, was evaluating its own marketing push, according to a spokesperson.

Early Saturday, after an informal Twitter poll by Musk, he said suspensions would be lifted immediately for “accounts who doxxed my location,” and several reporters’ accounts reappeared. Still, the reaction epitomized the conflicted, and seemingly codependent, relationship between the news media and social media.

At least nine journalists, including Washington Post technology reporter Drew Harwell and New York Times journalist Ryan Mac, were hit with the suspensions, which the American Civil Liberties Union said were “impossible to square with Twitter’s free speech aspirations.”Early Saturday, some some of those accounts had returned, but others appeared to remain locked until the offending tweet was deleted.

👁️👁️🗯️Is the story of Elon Musk 2013 creation true or fact! There is evidence that Elon Musk was a character front man created by a black billionaire heir to be the face of companies he privately led! Black billionaire 🤨🤔🧠nah it's gotta be made up

So glad I dumped my piece of shit Tesla. Worst car ever

Big boy Elon!! Glad to hear!!!

Free speech for me and not for thee.

Let's be clear, you 'could find no evidence' because there was no evidence. Just fucking say it.

Legit news and orgs need to find (or make/support) an alternative.

Musk needs to hire a professional management team and keep his nose out of the business.

Editors and social media managers read the article and see how little traffic Twitter actually drives to the main websites. This isn't to say that Twitter can't help drive what is considered 'newsworthy' though.

Yeah.
