Several journalists and influencers had their accounts suspended by Elon Musk’s X platform, including Ken Klippenstein and Steven Monacelli, but the accounts were reinstated later.
The reason for the suspension was not provided, and X did not respond to requests for comment.
This incident has raised concerns about censorship and freedom of speech, with some users speculating that their critical posts may have led to the suspension. (Trending: Fox News Star Accused Of Major Scandal)
Dear @elonmusk @Support, we'd like to know why our reporter, Steven Monacelli @stevanzetti was suspended from this platform.

Klippenstein said, “I woke up and had missed a call from a journalist who wanted to talk to me about my suspension.”
“So I was informed via other journalists who had called and emailed me this morning about it,” he continued.
Monacelli said, “I would certainly be interested in hearing from people who are First Amendment lawyers about how that might apply in a situation if they don’t provide some legitimate and well documented reason for my suspension.”
Additionally, one of the affected journalists pointed out that Texas has a law prohibiting social media companies from banning users based on their political viewpoints.
