In an article entry which labeled the event the “,” Wikipedia described the decision to briefly suspend the journalists after they shared info related to the flight coordinates of owner Elon Musk’s private jet.
“The term ‘Thursday Night Massacre’ wasn’t intended to be editorializing, but rather was the term that was trending on Twitter after the incident and was used by several journalists to describe the event afterwards,” said page author Hunter Kahn, explaining his decision on Wikipedia’sElon Musk claimed the suspended journalists’ tweets violated the company’s rules.

The phrase “Thursday Night Massacre” was trending on Twitter, according to the entry’s author Hunter Kahn.
