The accounts of several prominent journalists and progressive-leaning influencers were suspended by Elon Musk’s X platform on Tuesday for apparently violating X’s rules.
The accounts appeared to be being reinstated hours later, as of 12:15 p.m. Eastern.
The affected users include Ken Klippenstein, an investigative journalist who is on staff at The Intercept, and Texas Observer reporter, Steven Monacelli.
Monacelli told The Messenger that he did not receive an explanation for the suspension.
