I still think that if someone else other than you had done this they'd be temporarily banned and shit talked by Elon but not with the quickness he devoted to banning you. He loves banning you. It's still grim AF but I feel like his pettiness and grudge holding should not/CAN not be overstated.
I don't know how to test this theory unless a comparable cache of documents is found somewhere.
Are you being facetious? Because your Twitter capers have been super entertaining over the years, I can't believe you'd forget telling him if he was your employee you'd fire him.
I’ve noticed that other journalists have been quick to capitalize on the availability of the document, sharing the most salacious excerpts prodigiously, even while their organizations have refused to allow us to look at it hiding under the flimsiest excuse that it isn’t “newsworthy.” Let us decide, Corporate Beltway Media!
The only good thing about anyone from left to right to journalists getting banned from social media or arrested for something they say is that I immediately respect the individual involved.
Not surprising from Elon Musk. The trend is to applaud sloppy, hate speech and censor anything that he doesn’t like. Because he can! It must be so frustrating being a journalist with an eye for uncovering important information that the public has a right to know. There’s so much lying going on right now. Anything that addresses it is essential.
This is why it is so important to call this out when it happens to your political enemies as well as your friends. I will speak up for you, Ken. I am sorry this has happened.
Musk is no more an advocate of free speech than most Democrats in Congress. He is for the free speech he agrees with or doesn’t see as harmful to his agenda.
“Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.” -Noam Chomsky
The fascism isn't creeping anymore. I hope enough of us wake up and put an end to the Uniparty's grip on power, otherwise, even the facade of democracy can't cover up the what's under the fast slipping mask.
This is such politically biased bs. Please do file an appeal. He will look so petty and biased if he doesn’t reinstate you after all the creeps he has reinstated

Haha I almost totally forgot about his longstanding contempt for me

Being banned by Musk is a badge of distinction. Congratulations.
"Per independent journalist Lee Fang , X applies one standard for Vance and another for Biden."
Yep. The inversion of the old Twitter. It's like the Star Trek Mirror Universe. All that's missing is a goatee on Musk like Spock had.
Ken, you made the MSM:

The irony being that the Washington Post is chastising Musk for blocking a document that they refused to publish in the first place.

It sucks that Threads isn’t exactly helping here.
And as always, f* Elon.
Thanks again for publishing it, Ken.

Keep up the good work Ken.
Anyone have a link to the offending PDF? We need to get the Streisand Effect going to establish a discencentive for Mr. Musk's censoriousness.
It's in this post by Ken:

I’d post this on Twitter but my account is locked.
sorry about that lol
No apologies.
Great work Ken. They got me too but it is a badge of honor. https://jtolbertjr.substack.com/p/censored-by-twitter
The good news is that the Streisand Effect may come into play here and your subscriber count goes up.

Elon paid through the nose for the ability to do it lol.
