Last night there was a great disturbance in the Twitter force as lib “journalists”/lefty hacks were suspended in fairly large numbers. Elon Musk explained the reason this way:
Same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else

They posted my exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service

With that, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez advised Musk to “lay off the proto-fascism” and put down the phone:
You’re a public figure. An extremely controversial and powerful one.
I get feeling unsafe, but descending into abuse of power + erratically banning journalists only increases the intensity around you.
Take a beat and lay off the proto-fascism. Maybe try putting down your phone. https://t.co/BniyYUqWMY

Musk then encouraged AOC to lead by example:
You first lol

Well, there it is!
Fair enough. That's good. pic.twitter.com/sdAJNJd5ES

Musk's power with his platform lies in responding to these accounts. Not banning them. Hopefully he learns that.

Musk’s responses to some of these lefty critics are even better than putting a fact-check flag on their tweets.

Smitten, and against all of his best judgment, the richest man in the world bought her favorite bar for moments like this, Twitter is a romcom
