On December 15, 2022, Twitter suspended the accounts of ten journalists who had covered the company and its owner, Elon Musk. They included reporters Keith Olbermann, Steven L. Herman, and Donie O'Sullivan, as well as journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and The Intercept. Musk cited an incident between "a crazy stalker" and a car with his child as a justification for the suspensions. Posters on behalf of the owners of the accounts said that the suspensions were permanent. On December 16, 2022, Musk said that account access would be restricted for only seven days, and on December 17, some accounts were reportedly restored, with Musk citing Twitter community polls as the reason for the reversal.
