Transcript of Elon Musk's appearance in the #saveryanmac Twitter Space:

@elonmusk: Well, as I'm sure everyone who's been doxed would agree, showing real-time information about somebody's location is inappropriate. And I think everyone would not like that to be done to them.
/1
@elonmusk: And there's not going to be any distinction in the future between simple journalists and regular people.
Everyone is going to be treated the same—no special treatment.
You doxx, you get suspended. End of story.
/2
@elonmusk: And ban evasion or trying to be clever about it, like "Oh, I posted a link - to the real-time information," that's obviously something trying to evade the meaning, that's no different from actually showing real-time information.
/3
@katienotopoulos: When you're saying, 'posting a link to it,' I mean, some of the people like Drew and Ryan Mac from The New York Times, who were banned, they were reporting on it in the course of pretty normal journalistic endeavors.
/4
@katienotopoulos: You consider that like a tricky attempted ban evasion?

@elonmusk: You show the link to the real-time information – ban evasion, obviously.

@katienotopoulos: Drew, I don't think you were posting the real-time information, right?
/5
@drewharwell: You're suggesting that we're sharing your address, which is not true. I never posted your address.

@elonmusk: You posted a link to the address.

@drewharwell: In the course of reporting about ElonJet, we posted links to ElonJet, which are now banned on Twitter.
/6
@drewharwell: Twitter also marks even the Instagram and Mastodon accounts of ElonJet as harmful.
We have to acknowledge, using the exact same link-blocking technique that you have criticized as part of the Hunter Biden-New York Post story in 2020.
So what is different here?
/7
@elonmusk: It's not more acceptable for you than it is for me. It's the same thing.

@drewharwell: So it's unacceptable what you're doing?

@elonmusk: No.
You doxx, you get suspended.
End of story. That's it.

Then, Elon left.

/8
@elonmusk Musk actually said, "journalists, *so-called* journalists"

"There's not going to be any distinction in the future between journalists, so-called journalists, and regular people."

(It would be nice to have a normal editing option 🤷‍♀️)
