Suspended Twitter accounts of journalists restored: ‘People have spoken’, says Musk
San Francisco: Twitter owner Elon Musk said late Friday that he would reinstate the accounts of journalists that had been suspended, with Musk accusing them of endangering his family.
"The people have spoken. Accounts who doxxed my location will have their suspension lifted now," Musk tweeted, reports NDTV.
Musk had conducted a poll on Twitter, asking if he should restore the suspended accounts ‘now’ or after a week. About 59 per cent of the 3.69 million people who polled said that the accounts should be restored ‘now’.
Also, following the suspension of the Twitter accounts of prominent journalists from media houses including the New York Times, the Washington Post and CNN and @elonjet, which tracked the flights of Musk’s private jet, the EU and the UN had expressed anger and also issued a warning to Musk.
The Twitter head had, however, justified the suspension of accounts, saying that a car in Los Angeles that carried one of his children was followed by ‘a crazy stalker’. Musk apparently blamed the tracking of his jet for this.
Some of the journalists had reported on the incident and also linked it to the suspension of the account of @elonjet. Musk had said that it amounted to "assassination coordinates" against him and his family.

Maharashtra BJP chief Bawankule's son's Audi hits several vehicles in Nagpur; driver detained
Nagpur (PTI): A luxury car owned by Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule's son Sanket hit several vehicles in the early hours of Monday in Ramdaspeth area of Nagpur, after which the driver and one more occupant were detained and their medical examination was underway, a police official said.
According to the Sitabuldi police station official, the Audi car first collided with complainant Jitendra Sonkamble's car at 1am and then with a moped, leaving two youth riding it injured.
"The Audi car struck some more vehicles moving towards Mankapur area. At T-Point there, the vehicle hit a Polo car. Its occupants chased the Audi and stopped it near Mankapur bridge. Two occupants, identified as driver Arjun Hawre and Ronit Chittamwar, were stopped by those in the Polo car," he said.
"The duo was taken to Tehsil police station, from where they were handed over for further probe to Sitabuldi police. The medical examination of driver Arjun Hawre and occupant Chittamwar is in progress. Driver Hawre could be placed under arrest at any time ," he said.
The official said the occupants of the Audi were returning from a beer bar in Dharampeth when the incident took place, adding the medical examination will include blood tests for alcohol detection.
"A case of rash driving and other offences was registered on the complaint of Sonkamble. No action has been taken so far against Sanket Bawankule and the other two occupants who reportedly escaped from the scene at Mankapur bridge," the official said.
"We are checking the CCTV footage to ascertain the chain of events, after which further action on all aspects, including other occupants, will follow," he said.
Speaking to reporters about the incident, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule admitted the Audi car was registered in the name of his son Sanket.
"Police should conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the accident without any bias. Those found guilty should be charged and appropriate action should be taken against them. I have not spoken to any police official. The law must be equal for all," the senior BJP leader said.
