It’s his right to do it, but he’s acting like a child and misrepresenting what’s happening, talking about his exact location being tracked in real time and that they’re “assassin coordinates”. He’s also lying about all these journalists, saying they’re also doxxing him when all they’re doing his reporting on all of this. Then he sets up polls on if he should allow them back on, which doesn’t go the way he wants, so he sets up new ones (which also aren’t in his favor). And of course, all of this is entirely antithetical to everything he said the platform would be as it pertained to free speech. He’s a child.
It would have been better if Musk simply said "this is my platform and the account annoyed me" but he put himself in corner by saying moderation should be closer to free speech absolutism in order to bring back accounts of previously banned such as white nationalists and neo nazis.
I think Elon is accidentally finding (and maybe defining) the limits of money as speech and is pissed about how people have been responding to him after years of positivity.

If I were Elon Musk, and I didn’t want people knowing the location of my private jet, which legally has to report its location, I would simply not fly on my private jet.

All this “I was doxxed and assassination coordinates led stalkers straight to my son!” has turned out to be pure trash. His entire meltdown is over a lie.

Then he shuts down Spaces after he gets called out on one that had some of those suspended accounts in as speakers.
Probably shut them all down so he didn't have to explain why he only shut down theirs.

Only this time it’s happening at a laughably large scale.

Lmao, from his perspective, this is that thing where someone sends you an obvious threat on Twitter and you get the reply that the account with the 'Retvrn' handle with only 14-word long posts has done nothing wrong.
Only he spent $44 Billion for the privilege

This Tesla driver has the right message for Musk

Here is Bari Weiss' take at bothesidesing this. She said former Twitter leadership and current leadership did whatever they wanted at their own whims. Which is odd because what we saw from her very own "#TwitterFiles" is that the former leadership had enormous amounts of discussion, dialogue, pushback, and debate around what they should do, its ramifications, etc, and what this revolved around had very serious implications (an ongoing global pandemic, attempts to upend the democratic process, etc). Musk, on the other hand, is having a tantrum and both making policy and punishing people in real time.
I cannot fathom how she can view either of these as similar.
