It's interesting that many are debating the value of this 'rule', when this action is blatant abuse of his powers to silence his critics. He has now a lengthy and growing history of this type of behavior, so it was 100% foreseeable. He could just come out and say that its his twitter and he can do what he wants, but no, because he also wants to be seen as a 'defender of free speech'. He acts like a-hole, but then expects unquestioning adoration.

Blocking those who want to give the general public up to-the-minute location information on him and his family is "silencing his critics?"

Nothing could be further from the truth.

You have no fundamental right to track Elon Musk, just like I would have no fundamental right to track the whereabouts of you and your family. Disagree? When do you let us attach a tracking device to your conveyance?

Few, if any, would be comfortable having their family movements tracked by the public.

Also, journalist is a bit of a stretch. Journalism died a long time ago. Corporate script-readers at best, and state-run media parrots at worst. Either would be a better description than "journalist."

I remember when that "journalist" from WashPost published the home address of a woman she didn't like. Everyone was all for that...

Now it seems the shoe is on the other foot and the hypocrites don't like it.
