However, Elon Musk is now in control of the social media giant, and the people who got suspended and why have changed. Musk is a free speech advocate, but he also takes placing his family in danger personally. According to Breitbart, Keith Olbermann got permanently suspended from Twitter for doxing the location of Musk and his family.
Olbermann did not take his suspension well. He took to the Twitter account he uses for a dog charity and let loose.
“Doubt you’ve heard, but Musk banned me permanently from Twitter for NOT doing something he said WASN’T against the rules!” “It was the baptism scene from The Godfather and Elon Muskleone” LISTEN TO FRIDAY’S POST/SUSPENSION COUNTDOWN HERE and PLEASE RT!”

Olbermann, who appeared unshaven and disheveled, also stated on an uploaded video, “What a friggin’ candy-ass, lying, hypocritical, self-contradicting, little, paranoid snowflake that ‘Apartheid Clyde’ really is.”

Olbermann has lost jobs at both MSNBC and ESPN for his unhinged behavior. Breitbart notes that he has spent the last few years on Twitter offering profanity-filled rants against people he disagrees with and demanding that they be banned from the social network.

His comparison of Musk to Michael Corleone from The Godfather films lent credence to the idea that the former journalist has issues. For one thing, it implies that he and the other reporters who got suspended are like the heads of the Five Families whom Corleone had killed.

The reference to Apartheid was a bit cute too. Musk fled his native South Africa because he opposed the then system of racial discrimination that existed at the time.
The controversy began when some journalists on Twitter referenced a site that tracked the location of Musk’s private plane. He considered that to be doxing. He explained, “Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not.”
