Twitter pulls its Spaces group audio feature after Musk run-in with banned journalists

Share via:

Twitter appears to have temporarily disabled its Spaces group audio feature after Elon Musk joined a group conversation that included journalists who had been banned from the platform.

The latest drama comes after Twitter suspended several prominent journalists who covered an earlier story about the Elon Jet Twitter account, which was banned for tracking Elon Musk’s private jet using publicly available data. As it turns out, Twitter appears to have a bug that allows banned users to still participate in Twitter Spaces and converse with other members, which some of those who had been banned did. Katie Notopoulos, a BuzzFeed reporter, started a group chat yesterday evening, and was joined by a number of journalists whose Twitter accounts had been suspended.
