CNN Threatens to Quit Twitter After Employee Is Banned for Doxxing Elon Musk and Endangering His Young Son

On Thursday night, Twitter banned more than half a dozen of far-left journalists from CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post, and other independent reporters who had been reporting on Elon Musk and Tesla.

The decision came after Elon Musk declared war on sharing location information on the platform following a stalking incident with his son X.

“Last night, car carrying lil X in LA was followed by crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who later blocked car from moving & climbed onto hood,” Musk wrote.

“Legal action is being taken against Sweeney & organizations who supported harm to my family,” he continued.

Jack Sweeney, is a 20-year-old college sophomore and programmer who started the @elonjet account to track Elon Musk.

Musk suspended Sweeney’s account immediately.

“Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation. This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info,” Musk wrote.

On Thursday evening, Musk also suspended former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, The New York Times’ Ryan Mac, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, Mashable’s Matt Binder, Micah Lee of The Intercept and independent journalists Aaron Rupar, Keith Olbermann and Tony Webster.

Musk said, “same doxxing rules apply to “journalists” as to everyone else.”

In another tweet, Musk slammed Taylor Lorenz, “Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not.”

CNN’s O’Sullivan discussed his permanent ban on Twitter last night on CNN.

Now this…
CNN announced it is going to reevaluate its relationship with Twitter after their reporter was banned for doxxing the location of a child.

This is really happening.

It should be noted… The Gateway Pundit had our account taken down in February 2021 after we released exclusive video of a late night ballot drop at the TCF Center in Detroit on Election night 2020.

We never doxxed a kid.
