I guess she got banned for reminding musk about the time he doxxed her for reporting on Tesla.

They are other examples.

And the question isn't if it's true or not. The question was: what would make you change your mind about EM. To me, it was the pedo accusations about a rescuer who refused his 'help'. I then found videos about how fake and dumb the Hyperloop was, and I was done with him.

Can you give a link to the source please?

> what would make you change your mind about EM

I change my mind constantly when I get more information. But my opinion of Musk is not polar either absolute evil and absolute good. When he does something good, I give him a point, when he makes a mistake, I subtract a point.

So far Elon was net positive for Twitter.

Hyperloop, I don't think this is a big deal. Musk has thousands ideas, not all of them work.

I don't care about pedo story. It was inappropriate for sure, but everyone can make mistakes. Who is without sin... I prefer people who make mistakes openly to people who know how signal virtue.

In the end, for me, it is important what you do, and not as much, what you say.

I don't have the details right. Here is a notoriously right-wing source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11549999/Journalist...
Can you quote from the article please? Because I don't see it. The closest I get is this:

> she accuses Musk of having 'always' doxxed people in an attempt to silence critics of his treatment of employees

I think this article explained well that she in fact wasn't tweeting about Elonjet but about the time he doxxed an ex-employeur.

I remember it was before the idiotic pedophilia accusations, he retweeted someone who doxxed her email address after tweeting about her like 5 times in a row, i thought 'wow, not cool'.

Here what I found [0]: "This is worse than just stalking: Musk is setting his army of fanboys loose on Lopez, he’s retweeting stuff they find, and he’s encouraging them every step of the way. Milo Yiannopoulos was banned from Twitter for setting mobs upon his enemies; Musk should be banned too, but won’t be."

So did he doxx her or didn't he?

Maybe he did something else, and that is bad, but let's not move goalposts.

> he retweeted someone who doxxed her email address

"Doxxing" for revealing email address a bit exaggeration. This is also bad, but doxxing usually means revealing something which may give people significant distress. Like home address.

Also if there's a screenshot of such tweet. Since it seems to be disappeared from the internet, probably nobody really cared.

> Musk is setting his army of fanboys loose on Lopez

This is journalistic exaggeration. There's no proof of that in the article. Mentioning someone in Twitter does not mean he intentionally sets "his army of fanboys".
