A lot of people on the left are melting down over Twitter suspending some members of the liberal media, allegedly for doxxing Elon Musk by passing along a link to someone who was tracking him in real-time. Musk had already announced that doxxing was a suspendable offense after someone he called a “crazy stalker” went after his family. Some decided they wanted to test that anyway. But Musk let them know they weren’t “special” — if they were involved in doxxing, they were going to be treated just like everyone else.
Among the people hit with a suspension was Keith Olbermann. I think he was the one person that folks on both sides of the aisle weren’t particularly disturbed to see get the temporary boot. Although I think my colleague Jim Thompson is missing him because he makes a perfect template for mocking cartoons.
However, Olbermann being Olbermann couldn’t take the time-out. Because he’s been booted from reporting jobs, he needs it to keep affirming himself. So in the grand tradition started by Kathy Griffin — who used her dead mother’s account to evade suspension — Olbermann is using his dog rescue and adoption account to evade the suspension on his original account, while still ranting at Elon Musk.
This is a hilarious meltdown where he compares his suspension and that of the others to “The Godfather” scene where people got whacked.
"Doubt you've heard but Musk banned me permanently from Twitter for NOT doing something he said WASN'T against the rules!"
"It was the baptism scene from The Godfather and Elon Muskleone"

Here’s a link to the comments if this account ultimately gets suspended again.
Talk about a drama llama. Then he’s asking for this account to be suspended as well. The punishment on old Twitter for evading a suspension by using another account was whacking that second account.
Why did his original account get suspended? He claimed no one doxxed Musk.
None of us doxxed you, Snowflake. https://t.co/RvxOsexdLY

But Olbermann was encouraging everyone to share the link that people were suspended over, which is likely why he got the hook.
Suspending Olbermann seems particularly cruel. He's been fired from every place he's ever worked, and now a place he didn't. pic.twitter.com/KLhoyggdr4

What’s especially funny about Olbermann’s tantrum is he’s such a vile human being — he used to cheer and encourage Twitter to ban or suspend people who he doesn’t like.
Warning for language:

They loved it when it was happening to conservatives who weren’t doxxing people, who were getting nailed for expressing opinions they didn’t like.
Sometimes karma comes for you and it’s just come for Keith Olbermann. And next, it’s likely going to the dogs, when this account gets the hammer.

Olbermann is now evading his ban by tweeting from his dogs Twitter account. Perhaps he should be banned in dog years @elonmusk. https://t.co/Q2aSHT0gcv
