Elon Musk briefly joined a Twitter Space hosted by a BuzzFeed News tech reporter discussing the latest bans, but left after journalists asked him questions
just so transparent https://twitter.com/... Tom Gara / @tomgara : Friendship ended with KATIE https://twitter.com/... Marisa Kabas / @marisakabas : audio of elon musk joining @katienotopoulos twitter space, getting pushback about his bogus claims, and storming out (h/t @CrymsonDawn) https://twitter.com/... @punished_catbus : Elon Musk deleting Spaces because a journalist made him cry is the most owned anyone has ever been, online Dell Cameron / @dellcam : if you want to hear jason calacanis talk over a bunch of people for 20 minutes, here's your chance https://twitter.com/... @jtlol : They don't care about censorship. They just want to be the censors. https://twitter.com/... Tim Pierce / @qwrrty : 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://twitter.com/... François Chollet / @fchollet : 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. https://twitter.com/... @cooltimesonline : a hilarious gigantic baby https://twitter.com/... Jon Brady / @jonbradyphoto : 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.com/... Eliot Higgins / @eliothiggins : Elon Musk bringing the Badly Moderated Early-2000s Internet Forum experience to hundreds of millions of people. @koladeszn : Now Elon has removed space from twitter, can you give me a space in your heart? https://twitter.com/... Donna Respirator / @aliceavizandum : Twitter Spaces no longer exist and all it took was Elon Musk getting owned in one of them one time lmao Matthew Sheffield / @mattsheffield : 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/... @crulge : 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/... Erica Marsh / @ericareport : Elon Musk just abruptly left a Twitter Space after being unable to answer any questions regarding the mass suspension of journalists. @jeretonuniverse : 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://twitter.com/... Randi Mayem Singer / @rmayemsinger : Elon just showed up in this Space, refused to answer journalists' questions, barked some orders and stormed out. Incredible. https://twitter.com/... Tom Gara / @tomgara : 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/... David Lat / @davidlat : 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/... @jordanuhl : lol elon joined that space, got one tough question then bounced because he got cornered in his response @jbouie : this guy might be the single biggest baby on the planet https://twitter.com/... Aidan Moher / @adribbleofink : 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. https://twitter.com/... Katie Notopoulos / @katienotopoulos : The best part of hosting a Twitter Space with Elon Musk is that @PranavDixit had to write about it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... @pranavdixit : 🚨 Breaking: Elon Musk Bounced From A Twitter Space After Journalists He Suspended Tried To Ask Him Why They Were Banned https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ... Kim Todzi / @kimtodzi : One has to admire the fact how bluntly Elon Musk demonstrates what an Orwellian farce his free speech approach is. https://twitter.com/... Tracy Chou / @triketora : cannot wait for all the journalists to write up the insane discussion from this space https://twitter.com/... John Paczkowski / @johnpaczkowski : Elon fled a Twitter space with most every tech reporter in the business when @katienotopoulos pressed him on this moments ago. https://twitter.com/... Sophia A. Nelson / @iamsophianelson : He's not okay. https://twitter.com/... Oliver Alexander / @oalexanderdk : Suspended accounts can still freely use Twitter Spaces to both talk and listen. Top tier coding at Twitter https://twitter.com/... Cecilia Kang / @ceciliakang : The party moved to the back porch, people. Join https://twitter.com/... See also Mediagazer
