Elon Musk restores journalists' Twitter accounts after suspending them

TMZ.com

Elon Musk let several prominent journalists out of jail on Twitter...he just reinstated their suspended accounts for doxxing him, or so he claimed.

The Twitter honcho released a statement late Friday..."People have spoken. Accounts that doxxed my stance will have their suspensions lifted now."

Of course, Musk is referring to a Twitter poll he conducted on Thursday night asking voters if journalists' accounts should be quickly restored or put on hold for 7 days. A majority of people - more than 58% - voted to have the accounts reinstated immediately. So Elon agreed.

As we reported...Musk came under fire earlier this week when he suspended the accounts of at least 7 journalists, including Donie O'Sullivan (CNN), Drew Harwell (Washington Post), Matt Binder (Mashable), Ryan Mac (New York Times) and Micah Lee (The Intercept). Chief Twit accused reporters of tracking his private jet using publicly available data and spoofing him online by disclosing his personal details and whereabouts.

But, reporters insisted they never published Elon's private information, and believe the real reason Musk temporarily shut down their accounts is their unfavorable coverage of him. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
