>Twitter is a chaos box at the moment, It's hard to tell whether Musk is directly involved. These actions (or any actions really) might be policy, edicts from the top, officious middle employees or just plain screw ups.

This is an issue that allegedly involves Musk's family. He's tweeted about it directly multiple times stretching back to his initial offer of cash for @elonjet to go away, and has directly discussed this policy change in his own tweets over the past 24 hours, including tweeting about this round of bans.

Are you actually saying "it's hard to tell whether Musk is directly involved" in this specific issue, or...?

In that respect I was talking about the journalist bans rather than the elonjet bans. Now that I see he has weighed in on this issue it does seem to be that he was involved in the policy. The policy itself seems at odds with his previous statements but the no doxxing rule does seem to be arguably a reasonable thing to have.

Whether those banned were actually in violation of those rules I don't know. I would have said remains to be seen, but I fear such details will be lost in the news churn.
