  Here is Elon's full appearance in @katienotopoulos' spaces with banned journalists tonight https://twitter.com/...

  Holy Shit. Elon Musk just popped into a Twitter Spaces chat with a bunch of journalists. He was called out by journalist Drew Harrell, who he banned, for lying about posting links to his private information, then leaves almost immediately after being pressed. Here is the exchange…

  If anyone posted real-time locations & addresses of NYT reporters, FBI would be investigating, there'd be hearings on Capitol Hill & Biden would give speeches about end of democracy!

  somehow Twitter doesn't stop suspended accounts from joining Spaces, so @ElonJet, @drewharwell, @mattbinder (all suspended) are all here lmao https://twitter.com/...

• @carnage4life Dare Obasanjo on x

  Twitter has a bug where suspended accounts could still use Twitter Spaces. Since everyone who knows that codebase has been fired, Twitter has shut down the entire Twitter Spaces feature. Truly a master class in how to run a social media service. https://twitter.com/...

  Twitter Spaces has been temporarily deactivated. Elon Musk claims Twitter is fixing a “legacy bug.” Earlier tonight a Twitter Space that included several of the journalists who had been suspended (and which Elon Musk briefly stopped by) had a large audience. https://twitter.com/.…

  Here is Musk's full exchange on Twitter Space as he tried to explain himself, misrepresented what the reporter was doing, the reporter challenged him and then Musk misrepresented it again and took off. https://twitter.com/...

  Elon Musk was just in a Twitter Space with a few journalists and after getting like 3 questions he had to leave because he couldn't answer a single one

  BREAKING: @ElonMusk just hopped on Spaces with a group of journalists and informed them the same doxxing rules apply to them and they aren't special https://twitter.com/...

• @rmayemsinger Randi Mayem Singer on x

  Elon just showed up in this Space, refused to answer journalists' questions, barked some orders and stormed out. Incredible. https://twitter.com/...

  The best part of hosting a Twitter Space with Elon Musk is that @PranavDixit had to write about it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...

• @jeretonuniverse @jeretonuniverse on x

  For everyone is wondering why #TwitterSpaces is not working: Elon had this encounter with journalists and fled the scene, not shortly after all of the metadata of the space was deleted including access to it. Suspicions are that he turned off access to Spaces overall. https://twi…

  Elon Musk deleting Spaces because a journalist made him cry is the most owned anyone has ever been, online

  Elon Musk bringing the Badly Moderated Early-2000s Internet Forum experience to hundreds of millions of people.

• @koladeszn @koladeszn on x

  Now Elon has removed space from twitter, can you give me a space in your heart? https://twitter.com/...

• @tomgara Tom Gara on x

  The whole thing really got nuked from space. The concept of a series of frantic late night messages among execs being told that Katie Notopoulos must be stopped is an incredible one to think about. https://twitter.com/...

• @fchollet François Chollet on x

  E.M. bans a bunch of journalists critical of him, then he pops into a Space where he gets called out for lying about the official motive for the bans, can't justify himself, immediately leaves. Shortly afterwards Twitter forcefully shut down that Space. Just incredible stuff. htt…

  Elon Musk tells journalists in a Twitter Space “You dox, you get suspended, that's it”, in response to criticism of his blocking of the @elonjet account - and then immediately runs away before anyone can respond. If we thought Trump had thin skin, boy oh boy... https://twitter.co…

  Twitter Spaces no longer exist and all it took was Elon Musk getting owned in one of them one time lmao

  Elon fled a Twitter space with most every tech reporter in the business when @katienotopoulos pressed him on this moments ago. https://twitter.com/...

• @mattsheffield Matthew Sheffield on x

  This was always a lie, but tonight made it obvious. Elon Musk is a reactionary extremist who hates real free speech. He wants to make this site a safe space for neo-nazis, liars, spammers, morons, and scammers. https://twitter.com/...

• @ericareport Erica Marsh on x

  Elon Musk just abruptly left a Twitter Space after being unable to answer any questions regarding the mass suspension of journalists.

• @jordanuhl @jordanuhl on x

  lol elon joined that space, got one tough question then bounced because he got cornered in his response

• @kimtodzi Kim Todzi on x

  One has to admire the fact how bluntly Elon Musk demonstrates what an Orwellian farce his free speech approach is. https://twitter.com/...

• @crulge @crulge on x

  There's a twitter space right now where Elon's lackey @jason is saying that the Elon jet account was putting children in danger. Which is funny because that guy knows a lot about flight data and endangered children https://twitter.com/...

  So apparently suspended accounts can still participate in Twitter Spaces; the recently suspended @MattBinder is in this Spaces conversation right now. I guess glitches like this happen when you fire all your engineers.... https://twitter.com/...

• @qwrrty Tim Pierce on x

  This Twitter Space was wild. WILD. A whole slew of the #BloodyThursday banned journalists showed up. Then Elmo himself joined the chat and gave extremely awkward, evasive answers, and then fled. Then about a half-hour later the whole Space got terminated mid-sentence. https://twi…

  Dude coulda had it all. He coulda built spaceships and future cars, people would've loved him. Solved cold fusion. He coulda had a Fortnite skin and ended up next to Edison and Tesla in the history books without ever having to work a day in his life. But instead he chose... this.…
