Elon Musk disables Twitter Spaces after clash with journalists


Musk dropped in on the session as well, after it accumulated thousands of listeners, to say tersely that anyone who doxxes – gives personal location information about another person – will be suspended. The journalists countered that they had not posted any real-time flight data, as he alleged, but by then the billionaire had quit the call. — AP

Twitter owner Elon Musk said late Dec 15 night that the company was fixing an old bug and the audio service “should be working tomorrow”.
