, Rupar wrote that he is unsure why he was suspended. He said he did tweet on Wednesday a link to a Facebook page for the jet-tracking account.
Nora Benavidez, senior counsel at the advocacy group Free Press, echoed Jaffer's remarks, saying suspending journalists based seemingly on personal animus"sets a dangerous precedent." "Without commenting on any specific user accounts, I can confirm that we will suspend any accounts that violate our privacy policies and put other users at risk," Irwin said."We don't make exceptions to this policy for journalists or any other accounts."
Musk also claimed that one account that operated under the handle @ElonJet, run by a 20-year-old University of Central Florida student, was used by a"crazy stalker" in Los Angeles to follow a car carrying one of Musk's children.
