Elon Musk offers journalists he banned from Twitter ability to return under a certain condition.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk offered several of the journalists he banned from the social media website the ability to return under a certain condition.
"The people have spoken," Musk wrote Friday night after his poll, pledging to restore the accounts he had falsely accused of sharing his "exact real-time" location. O'Sullivan and Harwell both told CNN on Saturday morning that they had not agreed to delete the tweets and instead selected an option to appeal the decision.
Musk had falsely claimed on Thursday that the journalists had violated Twitter's new "doxxing" policy by sharing his "exact real-time" location, amounting to what he described as "assassination coordinates." A CNN spokesperson previously said on Thursday that the network had asked Twitter for an explanation over O'Sullivan's suspension and it would "reevaluate our relationship based on that response."
