Then Twitter Banned Another Journalist For Asking About the Situation
In the midst of the @ElonJet chaos, Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz tweeted at Elon Musk asking for a comment about the situation. Lorenz wrote that she and colleague Drew Harwell had emailed Musk several times about information they’d learned which they wanted to share with the billionaire. Lorenz wrote “We’re taking this very seriously and want to ensure this is pursued in the right way.” Then, without any immediate explanation, Twitter banned Lorenz’s account.
Elon later said the ban was for doxxing Lorenz had done in the past (she hadn’t) and ultimately reinstated her account with no further discussion on the subject.
