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/...

Tracy Chou / @triketora : cannot wait for all the journalists to write up the insane discussion from this space https://twitter.com/...

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
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!
This tweet, in which Ben accurately summarized news at Twitter using Musk's own words, prompted NBC to pull Ben from discussing Musk on-air: https://www.semafor.com/... Does @NBCNews think Ben should've lied to cover for Musk's ignorance about Twitter and corporate governance? 🤔 …
somehow Twitter doesn't stop suspended accounts from joining Spaces, so @ElonJet, @drewharwell, @mattbinder (all suspended) are all here lmao https://twitter.com/...
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/.…
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
Musk rode into Twitter as a proud Free Speech Warrior. Last night delivered more evidence to show that, at best, he was very naive. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Attacking a private sector company owner for exposing governmental corruption and media censorship isn't “speaking truth to power,” it's being a propagandist https://twitter.com/...
Melissa Fleming, head of communications for the United Nations, tweets she was 'deeply disturbed by the suspensions and that ‘media freedom is not a toy.’ https://www.rappler.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/...
The New York Times wants journalists reinstated along with an explanation, and here it is. Responding to tweets about the journalists' suspensions, Elon says they were banned for “doxxing.” It's safe to say the journalists who were banned were not doxxing Elon Musk https://twitte…
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/...
As Drew Harrell noted after Musk fled without addressing questions, “Elon is trying to make this about doxxing and stalking, and that is not it.” He's banning reporters for reporting public information that does not disclose his or his families' location. https://twitter.com/...
“You're not special because you're a journalist.” @elonmusk let journalists know they're subject to the same rules. Left-wing media, many of who defended bannings, has been having meltdowns after several of their own were temporarily suspended for doxing. https://thepostmillennia…
just incredible stuff, and also he did this WHILE posting a redo of his own poll because he didn't like the results. Multi-tasking! https://twitter.com/...
if you're wondering why twitter spaces is gone it's bc some journalists asked elon like 3 questions so he left and got rid of the entire feature https://twitter.com/...
I was prepared for the Musk twitter era to be a vainglorious train wreck, but I admit I was not prepared for just how *pathetic* it would be. The thundering about free speech followed up immediately with his banning any accounts that make him feel threatened—just so transparent h…
