In an email to an NPR reporter, Elon Musk suggested he would re-assign NPR’s Twitter account because the company had stopped tweeting
In a series of emails to an NPR reporter, the billionaire reportedly threatened to transfer the @npr handle to “another company.”
“So is NPR going to start posting on Twitter again, or should we reassign @NPR to another company?” the organization claimed the billionaire wrote in an email. “Our policy is to recycle handles that are definitively dormant,” Musk wrote in a follow-up email, per the report. “Same policy applies to all accounts. No special treatment for NPR.”
In April, the public broadcaster quit the social media platform after Twitter added a “state-affiliated media” label to NPR’s main account. The decision made NPR — a private, non-profit company that maintains editorial independence from the U.S. government — the first major news outlet to stop publishing new content on Twitter.
