Elon Musk temporarily shuts down Twitter Spaces
Elon Musk’s ownership of Twitter continues to be...well, it’s certainly something.
Thursday night was an eventful one on the popular microblogging site, as Musk suspendedseveral prominent journalists from outlets like the New York Timesand Mashable. Their crime was supposedly for sharing live location data for Musk, by virtue of reporting on the banning of the Elon Jet Twitteraccount.

Buzzfeed’s Katie Notopoulos started a Twitter Space, during which it was discovered that the banned journalists (including Mashable’s own Matt Binder) could still speak. Musk joined the space, fielded a few questions, offered the same general "you dox, you get suspended" answer to all of them, and then left. Shortly thereafter, the Spaces feature was shut off for everyone.

As of Friday morning, the Spaces button still exists on the Twitter iOS app for me, but trying to join or start a Space results in an error message saying the feature isn’t available on my device.

We’ll have to wait and see whether or not Spaces actually come back in a timely manner, given how many people Musk has firedfrom the site in the last couple of months.
