“I worry about the chilling effect that this might have on those reporters,” O’Sullivan said of Musk’s move to ban
One of the journalists suspended from Twitter by Elon Musk said the mercurial mogul kicked him off the social media site because he “poked the billionaire.”
“Coming from the guy who is the free speech absolutist, who says he wants this to be a beacon of free expression, it is quite something to see him banning journalists who all just happen to cover him critically. But I would also say fairly,” said O’Sullivan, who covers technology for the cable network.who had been critical of him since his $44 billion takeover of the social media platform.
Musk changed Twitter’s guidelines on location sharing this week and claimed the accounts were suspended for “doxxing” him, or posting private information about him on the site. “I worry about the chilling effect that this might have on those reporters, particularly when you think that Musk also owns these other companies, Tesla and SpaceX,” O’Sullivan said. “What if you’re in Germany or elsewhere and you’re reporting on maybe poor working conditions? Is he going to come and just stamp down because he says, ‘Oh, that’s against the rules.'”Twitter did not immediately return requests for comment.
