Musk claimed that the journalists violated his rule about " But, for example, O'Sullivan did not publish Musk's coordinates.

Shortly before the account was banned, he wrote about the social network Mastodon, which continued to publish data from @ElonJet - an account that published the coordinates of Musk's personal jet. Other journalists whose accounts were blocked also wrote about this account..

" But @ElonJet published data on the movement of the aircraft obtained from open sources.

As CNN notes, blocking journalist accounts raises questions about the future of Twitter, as well as whether Musk is really a supporter of free speech..

We will remind, earlier Musk said that Twitter will block accounts that publish real-time data on the movement of people.. He also added that he was suing @ElonJet account creator Jack Sweeney..
