Billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk this morning (Friday) ordered the blocking of the accounts of dozens of journalists whose tweets on the social network Twitter dealt with his conduct, many media around the world reported.
According to the reports, the journalists Donnie O'Sullivan from the CNN news network, the journalist Ryan Mack from the "New York Times" as well as Aaron Roper from the "Washington Post" were blocked on the social network, all journalists who aggressively dealt with the billionaire's praise.
Those who were blocked were not given any reason for the blocking and Twitter did not receive any official response to the events.
A few hours before the wave of blocking, Musk announced that he would not allow his personal location to be transmitted live, this after blocking a surfer who consistently disabled the location of his private plane about two days ago.
Musk said that he will not allow surfers on the social network to tell "coordinates for assassination".
But almost none of the blocked journalists, who did criticize Musk consistently, shared the location of the billionaire.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the surfer who published the location of Musk's private plane also did so from transparent and available sources on the Internet and it is not a matter of tracking or using illegal data.
The wave of blocking raises many questions about Musk's policy, who stated after purchasing the social network earlier this year that he intends to work for freedom of expression and avoid blocking surfers as much as possible.
Musk's conduct in the company, for which he paid more than 44 billion dollars, included several scandals such as firing hundreds of employees and turning parts of the company's headquarters into a hotel for employees, without proper permits.
