“The people have spoken,” Mr. Musk said on Twitter. “Accounts who doxxed my location will have their suspension lifted now.”

Twitter didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. 

Mr. Musk on Thursday suspended accounts belonging to journalists from outlets including CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times and Mashable. At the time, he indicated the suspensions were linked to the sharing of data about the location of his private jet. 

Representatives for the outlets said they didn’t receive any explanation of why the accounts were suspended.

The suspensions drew criticism from government officials and other groups who said Mr. Musk was infringing upon freedom of the press. 

A day before the suspensions, Twitter changed its private information policy to prohibit sharing other people’s live locations in most instances.

“Real-time posting of someone else’s location violates doxxing policy, but delayed posting of locations are ok,” Mr. Musk said Wednesday. 

Twitter also suspended the @ElonJet account, operated by Jack Sweeney, a student at the University of Central Florida. The automated account tracked Mr. Musk’s private jet using public data from plane transponders that log longitude, latitude and altitude. As of Saturday morning, it was still suspended. 

Other automated accounts run by Mr. Sweeney are also still blocked on Twitter, including @PutinJet, which tracked aircraft associated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and @RUOligarchsJets, created after Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year, along with @CelebJets, an account that tracked the jets of celebrities.
