Musk has restored the suspended accounts. I believe the suspensions were temporary all along.

Hypocrisy is THE defining characteristic of the left.

Sure didn’t bother the left to dox the Supreme Court justices. There was no outcry when they did that.

I’m disappointed Musk didn’t permanently ban them. Liberals only learned that he’d back down if they scream loud enough.

“Free speech” — to the liberals — has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

If they don’t like it, they can start their own Twitter.

The MSM’s lack of any semblance of self-awareness is stunning.

Yep. His style might have something to do with why he’s the richest man in the history of the world.

He didn’t say cancelled.

IF I was in his same position-—those punks would be very lucky I ONLY suspended their Twitter accounts & didn’t suspend their breathing.

Yeah, liberals are whiny, childish, hypocritical, obtuse and incredibly narrow minded.

And those are their better points.

They should not equate the legitimate news story that the Post published to malicious doxing that puts Musk and his family in danger.

I like that Musk told them that they are not different or more privileged than other people, if they dox someone and their family and put them in danger.

The lefty media does this regularly. Dox the real time location of one of their political opponents and publish it for for their loony followers.

The fanatic lefty reporters and their media friends tried the "I-dindoo-nuffin" defence". However Musk also told his 100 million+ followers exactly why they were suspended. So no way for them to lie without looking like idiots.

"Freedom of the press" is not a protection for journalists. The right of the people to a free press is the right for all of us to publish.

These liberal journalists didn't seem to think that taking away the right of everyday people to publish was a problem, but banning a few of them now is?
