Elon Musk has suspended the Twitter accounts of multiple corporate media reporters today.
Musk turned the tables over allegations the left-wing reporters were “doxxing” his family’s location.
The issue came to a head when Musk claimed Wednesday that his youngest child X was stalked and attacked by a man who jumped on the hood of the car his son was traveling in.
Musk wasn’t in the vehicle at the time but suggested the stalker believed that he was inside due to people posting his locations online.
Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood.
Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family.

A Twitter user said:
“CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan (@donie) has been suspended for… asking the LAPD about the supposed “stalking attack incident” on @elonmusk and reporting that there was no police report filed.
“Nice job you f**king apartheid waterhead dork.
“Suck the sh*t out of my a*s.”

NBC reporter Ben Collins said:
“Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O’Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar, and the Washington Post’s @drewharwell.
“Rupar tells me he has ‘no idea’ why it happened.”
What happened to:
— Private companies have the right to disassociate themselves from anyone they want.
— Have you ever heard of “Terms of Service?”
— If you don’t like how Twitter does content moderation, start your own social media site.
Remember all those arguments? https://t.co/j0P2os8ZF4
