Elon Musk abruptly ditches Twitter voice chat when questioned by banned reporters

Twitter head Elon Musk sparred with journalists on a voice chat on the platform Thursday about his decision to ban several high-profile accounts he accused of “doxxing” him — before abruptly leaving in the midst of questions from one of the reporters banned from the site.
The group chat, hosted by BuzzFeed reporter Katie Notopoulos, was a discussion of Musk’s decision Thursday to ban several reporters who had tweeted or filed stories on the chief twit’s earlier ban on an account showing the location of his private jet.
Some of those journalists, however, found that they could still join the social media site’s group voice chats, known as “Twitter Spaces.”
“You’re suggesting that we were sharing your address, which is not true,” banned Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell said to Musk after he joined Notopoulos’ chat Thursday night.
“It is true,” Musk replied.
“I never posted your address,” Harwell shot back.
Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell told Musk in the chat that he had never shared Musk’s address.
“You posted a link to the address,” Musk claimed.
“In the course of reporting on ElonJet, we posted links to ElonJet — which are now not online and now banned on Twitter,” Harwell responded.
“[That ban uses] the same exact link-blocking technique that you have criticized as part of the Hunter Biden New York Post story in 2020,” Harwell continued, referencing Musk’s vociferous criticism of the former Twitter regime’s decision to censor The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden in the run-up to the 2020 election.
“What is different here?” Harwell asked.
Musk, in a confusing reply, said, “It’s no more acceptable for you than it is for me.”
“So it’s unacceptable what you’re doing?” Harwell asked.
