    CNN’s Jim Acosta says he was locked out of his Twitter account

    excerpt:

    CNN anchor Jim Acosta claimed Twitter locked him out of his account for several hours — before Elon Musk’s social media site announced on Sunday that anyone who promoted their accounts on other platforms would be suspended.

    Acosta revealed that he was unable to access his Twitter page during an interview on Sunday with Insiderreporter Linette Lopez, who was among the journalists suspended last week by Musk.

    The CNN host told Lopez that he too ran afoul of Musk’s new rules, though his penalty was imposed hours before they were announced.

    “I should note my own account was locked overnight by Twitter,” said Acosta, whose comments were first reported by the news media watchdog site Mediaite.

    “I’m still trying to sort it out. This feels very arbitrary and a little frenetic.”

    Again Musk has every right to suspend or ban whomever and whatever his little heart desires on Twitter.

    And it's totally in the right of anyone to criticize that action.

    Make all publicly traded companies that employ over 300 employees owned by the state so we can prevent this stuff.
