just in the last 10-15 minutes or so. lmao, i never want to hear from another elon free speech stan again:
SUSPENDED - donie o'sullivan, CNN reporter SUSPENDED - aaron rupar, former VOX journalist, independent SUSPENDED - ryan mac, NYT reporter SUSPENDED - drew harwell, Washington Post reporter
no explanations and permanent. also, i really missed the opportunity to use the title The Night of Long Suspensions. edit: elon has said these are temporary, 7-day suspensions. this is NOT what the messages said from the first two accounts, aaron rupar and ryan mac. those very explicitly stated they were permanent suspensions.
EDIT -- additions below here:
SUSPENDED - mastadon social - this is likely because they tweeted a link to the elon jet account on mastadon, but i'll put it up because it's funny. SUSPENDED - matt binder - Majority Report, Mashable SUSPENDED - tony webster - FOIA journalist SUSPENDED - keith olbermann - commentator - his last tweet SUSPENDED - micah lee - Intercept reporter SUSPENDED - steve herman - Voice of America's chief national correspondent SUSPENDED - linette lopez - Business Insider reporter SUSPENDED - russian oligarch jets - this one is actually funny since he's finally getting around to banning other jet accounts after getting absolutely wrecked on social media for only banning anything having to do with his jet. SUSPENDED - helicopters of DC - tracked government helicopters
EDIT #2 - responses from journos/orgs:
tweet from Mikael Thalen of the Daily Dot:

"Twitter is now blocking all links to the social media platform Mastodon. Users attempting to share a link to the platform are met with a warning that claims the link "has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful."

tweet from Washington Post PR:

The suspension of Drew Harwell's Twitter account directly undermines Elon Musk's claim that he intends to run Twitter as a platform dedicated to free speech. Harwell was banished from Twitter without warning, process or explanation, following the publication of his accurate reporting bout Musk. Our journalist should be reinstated immediately." --Sally Buzbee, Executive Editor, The Washington Post

tweet from CNN Communications:

The impulsive and unjustified suspension of a number of reporters, including CNN's Donie O'Sullivan, is concerning but not surprising. Twitter's increasing instability and volatility should be of incredible concern for everyone who uses the platform. We have asked Twitter for an explanation, and we will reevaluate our relationship based on that response.

comment from Committee to Protect Journalists via Guardian reporter lois beckett:

We are concerned about news reports that journalists who have covered recent developments involving Twitter and its owner, Elon Musk, have had their accounts on the platform suspended. If confirmed as retaliation for their work, this would be a serious violation of journalists' right to report the news without fear of reprisal."

EDIT - elon in the aftermath:
elon's tweet in response to mike solana's tweet:

mike solana: so far, i’ve been able to confirm about half the accounts suspended posted links to the jet tracker thing in violation of the new doxx’ing policy. unclear just yet about the rest, but i think it’s safe to say the rule is for real.
elon musk 1: Same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else
elon musk 2: They posted my exact real-time location, basically assassination coordinates, in (obvious) direct violation of Twitter terms of service

actually, just go look at his (elon's) tweets & replies section. it's a masterclass in someone losing their actual shit. the divorced dad energy is so fucking palpable i can taste it here in dallas.
LMAO - elon put up a poll that said "Unsuspend accounts who doxxed my exact location in real-time" with the options of "Now, Tomorrow, 7 days from now, Longer." well, "Now" won by 5% and then he replies to his own tweet with "Sorry, too many options. Will redo poll." Trump levels of loser shit.
EDIT - timeline of permanent suspensions confirmed by the account holders - perm. suspension timeline
EDIT - 10/16 updates - NBC News temporarily suspends tech reporter Ben Collins stating his criticism of Elon Musk was not "editorially appropriate." - elon musk suspends Business Insider reporter linette lopez who, in 2018, musk alluded to being on the payroll of Tesla short sellers and accused Tesla whistleblower Martin Tripp of taking bribes from lopez in exchange for "valuable Tesla IP." - micah lee of the intercept - "Elon Musk Is Taking Aim at Journalists. I’m One of Them." - note: this write up leaves out elon's claim that someone was stalking his kid and got on the hood of the car. my honest take is that i would have trouble putting this in a story myself or adding it as an editor considering there's been no evidence of this whatsoever, just a photo of a license plate and another photo of dude in a hoodie in a vehicle next to them. that doesn't say anything one way or the other. i just felt like it should be acknowledged here since it's not a publication. - elon musk none too happy with bari wiess, one of the hacks he entrusted with the Twitter Files, stating that elon is wrong to ban those journalists (a broken clock is right twice a day). screenshot - lex fridman is remedial concerning elon and free speech and there's almost no way you could convince me otherwise. screenshot - elon and well-known dipshit canadian lawyer viva frei responding to stephen king. incidentally i see a lot of this same logic being used in this sub. not nearly as much as it was a few weeks ago but still enough to be surprising. those of you that think this is good logic... it's not.

Hey @lopezlinette, did you know that hitting a tree is a bad idea no matter what car you drive? No really, it's true. Some day you'll look back on your childish Tesla bashing as a hedge fund puppet to be a dark time in your career. Dare you to write 1 positive story about Tesla.

FUD is an infection and the Model 3 is the antibiotic - the propagandists will lose!

I recently looked at some of the Twitter feeds of the captured media...https://twitter.com/g\_rapiestatus/1121853319637536769 - This one speaks for itself.https://twitter.com/lopezlinette/status/1121790322147827712 - "Business Insider dug into why the topic [burning Teslas] won't go away." - I'm guessing because Chanos tells you to keep it in the news when your on his lap in Las Vegas?https://twitter.com/lorakolodny/status/1124500258518552576 - Oh...how cute...fake news CNBC reporter here pretends that anti-Tesla Twitter trolls and people who are supporters of Tesla both lack civility...ignoring the fact that an anti-Tesla twitter troll recently stalked Tesla employees and hit a Tesla employee with his vehicle after being caught trespassing (AKA BREAKING THE LAW).There are so many examples of this crap infecting the public! It only took 5 minutes to find these 3!These people and the misinformed who propagate the lies are completely unaware that, out there in the 'real world', a cure exists for their toxic shit, and Tesla just so happens to mass produce it. The lies and the deceit, the narrative they try to propagate in the media...it will all fail. I never had the opportunity to really dig into some of lies being spread...until a few weeks ago when I got my Model 3.As of today, I've looked at nearly every visible inch of the vehicle, inside and out. I've driven nearly 1,000 miles in many conditions, with and without passengers (sometimes being the passenger), and at many different speeds. My prior vehicles were luxury Japanese and luxury German vehicles, so my expectations were high.Key Takeaways:There are absolutely zero flaws in the vehicle I received. The paint is immaculate and the exterior panels/lines are flawless. The interior is perfect - no flaws, no rattles, nothing! Most importantly, no noise issues at any speeds and no noise issues on rough roads. To be honest, there is almost noise at all...it feels like you are in space. The quality is incredible!The ride of the vehicle is exceptionally solid. High-speed turns are absolutely mind-blowing. Equivalent priced gasoline vehicles are no match for this vehicle...its not even a question. For normal real world driving, this is a far superior product. Other car companies should be extremely concerned - whether you are making $25,000 vehicles or $100,000 vehicles - you should be fucking scared that a 15 year old company has this product on the market.I've given rides to 11 people so far - none had been in a Tesla before. 5 of them were "car people". 6 of them were not. All 11 were shocked from the ride. All of them had a list of questions they wanted answered during/after the ride. One person, who had been talking to me about buying a dodge Charger next year over the past few months (he is a huge Dodge Charger fan who talks about them all the time) actually said out loud, "Maybe I should look at one of these instead" - words that I never expected to hear come out of their mouth. It was said totally unprompted. I actually think it was their body having an involuntary response...I don't think this person even had control when they said that.I have never felt safer in any vehicle. The low center of gravity is INSANE - it really is hard to describe how amazing it really is in words. The vehicle doesn't make me feel exposed like some of the other vehicles I have driven in before do. The crash-test videos and the rollover videos look great, but you actually feel that level of safety when you are driving it.Every time I get to my destination, I'm bummed out. I park the car, walk away, and immediately start counting down the time until I can get back in it. This car is an experience unlike anything else out there. After driving close to a quarter-million miles in other vehicles, I can say with confidence that this product is on it's own level.The end of FUD will come. It is inevitable. As time passes, the cure spreads, and the reality-distortion field ends. This company is leading the pack in the one of the toughest businesses in the world. I went from being a proud shareholder to feeling privileged just to be able to be invested in the company.

Might want to hang on to this.

8/1/2018	Tragic. Will send Einhorn a box of short shorts to comfort him through this difficult time.	$300.84
7/5/2018	Sounds very sketchy if true. @lopezlinette, is it possible you’re serving as an inside trading source for one of Tesla’s biggest short-sellers? An ex-Tesla employee just went on record formally claiming you bribed him & he sent you valuable Tesla IP in exchange. Is this true?	$309.16

6/17/2018	How big is your short position? Just curious.	$358.17
5/4/2018	Looks like sooner than expected. The sheer magnitude of short carnage will be unreal. If you’re short, I suggest tiptoeing quietly to the exit …	$294.09
