On the one hand he's removing Twitter bans from nutters and extremists, and now he seems to be imposing bans on those actually using Twitter to do something both useful and important. I get the personal information bit, but there are good reasons for wanting to track dubious "private" Russian movements, and they've been banned as well it seems. I'll lay money there were unofficial partisan groups using some of that data to plan their activities.
I doubt I'd ever have been in the market for one of his cars, but I'm damned sure that I won't ever knowingly buy any other product from one of his companies now. Pity, as Starlink looked like it might have given us a better option for phone/internet when the lines get taken away in a few years.
