Elon Musk disables Twitter Spaces after clash with journalists


Musk dropped in on the session as well, after it accumulated thousands of listeners, to say tersely that anyone who doxxes – gives personal location information about another person – will be suspended. The journalists countered that they had not posted any real-time flight data, as he alleged, but by then the billionaire had quit the call. — AP

Twitter Inc’s live audio service, Twitter Spaces, is down after a number of journalists that had just been suspended from the social network found they could still participate on it.

Twitter owner Elon Musk said late Dec 15 night that the company was fixing an old bug and the audio service “should be working tomorrow”. Earlier in the evening, Musk’s network threw reporters from CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times, among others, into a seven-day suspension for allegedly disclosing the location of his private jet.
