   1. ABOUT LAST NIGHT

   I participated in a Twitter space hosted by @katienotopoulos@twitter.com w/a lot of journalists

   When I joined @jason@twitter.com, one of Musk's apparatchiks, was badgering @drewharwell@twitter.com, a suspended reporter, and Jack Sweeney, the guy behind the accounts that tracked jets

     7. I didn't realize it but, in the middle of my rant, Musk himself entered the room

     6. My other point was we can say we are concerned about the impact of social media use on people's safety BUT THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE LIMITED TO PRIVATE JETS.

     MUSK HIMSELF WAS PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK BY MAKING WILD ACCUSATIONS, INCLUDING THAT THEY WERE PEDOPHILES

     5. I said the bigger question is whether WE WANT TO LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE POWERFUL PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO LIE AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH IMPUNITY AND THEN USE THESE LIES TO JUSTIFY OTHERWISE INDEFENSIBLE ACTIONS

     4. I finally had enough. @katienotopoulos@twitter.com invited me to be a speaker so I interrupted

     My point was: THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF THE QUESTION WAS A LIE.

     The suspended journalists had not reported on Musk's real-time location!

     They covered the fact that he suspended Sweeny's accounts

     3. Jason kept on asking it over and over again.

     I think he thought this was a great way of redirecting the conversation and making Musk seem reasonable.

     IS THIS THE KIND OF SOCIETY WE WANT TO LIVE IN? WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUT IN DANGER FROM BEING UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE?

     @katienotopoulos@twitter.com @Jason@twitter.com @drewharwell@twitter.com 2. Jason was making the point that everyone was upset about the suspension, but we need to focus on the real point: IF YOU POSTED SOMEONE'S REAL TIME LOCATION AND SOMEONE DIED WOULD YOU FEEL BAD?

     Drew made the point that this was a dumb question
