Prominent liberal journalist Aaron Rupar has had his Twitter account suspended by Elon Musk’s social media platform.

Rupar, who has more than 788,000 followers, had his account suspended the day after Twitter suspended then restored an account that followed the movements of the billionaire’s private jet.

And it came on the same day that Twitter suspended the account of social media rival platform Mastedon.

Mr Rupar was an Associate Editor at Vox Media until 2021, and has been covering national politics as an independent journalist ever since.

Rupar regularly covers right-wing politicians such as Donald Trump, as well as Fox News and hosts such as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.
