They had posted links to another account Musk suspended which tracks his private jet in real time, and Musk had become spooked after a harrowing incident involving his toddler son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure everyone who\u2019s been doxxed would agree, showing real-time information about somebody\u2019s location is inappropriate, and I think everyone on this call would not like that to be done to them, and there\u2019s not going to be any distinction in the future between journalists and regular people,\u201d Musk said after dropping in on the chat. \u201cEveryone\u2019s going to be treated the same. You\u2019re not special because you\u2019re a journalist, you\u2019re just a Twitter [user] \u2014 you\u2019re a citizen. So, no special treatment. You dox, you get suspended, end of story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Accounts that were suspended included former Vox journalist Aaron Rupar, CNN reporter Donie O\u2019Sullivan, New York Times reporter Ryan Mac, Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell, The Intercept journalist Micah Lee, and hardcore leftist Keith Olbermann.
