Earlier, he had also responded to the accusation he had been getting after the accounts were suspended.

Taking to Twitter, the multi-billionaire reacted with a sarcastic comment at the criticism being hurled at him. He wrote, "So inspiring to see the newfound love of freedom of speech by the press.

The UN and The European Union had also raised concerns about him suspending the accounts of journalist.

EU warned Musk that Twitter could be subject to sanctions under a future media law. 

Twitter recently updated its policy this week, saying it would remove any tweets or accounts that share someone's live location if it's not done to help in humanitarian efforts or during public events.
