Elon Musk's 2-Word Response To NPR Leaving Twitter Is ... Really Something

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Elon Musk apparently insists on getting the last word in his current skirmish with NPR.

The public broadcaster announced on Wednesday that it will no longer post content on Twitter after Musk designated the public broadcaster as “State-affiliated media,” a designation previously reserved for outlets controlled by governments in authoritarian countries that, unlike NPR, are not editorially independent.

“The platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent,” NPR said in a statement. “We are not putting our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility and the public’s understanding of our editorial independence.”

Twitter’s big cheese has since changed the designation to “government-funded media,” but that’s also inaccurate since the U.S. government provides less than 1% of NPR’s annual operating budget.

There's no reason why taxpayers should be subsidizing fascists.

3. Stupid is "very stupid"..Wrong thing to say...just .'SHUT UP' .his words will hurt Twitter & Tesla.

He is totally wrong. I wonder how many will stay away from Twitter & Tesla because he said that?

He has no clue, says Stu...

That comment will get around over time. And that will take time too."

14. Government funding made the asshole a billionaire and continues to add to his wealth

[ralfy]

15. Should be State Propaganda

...which has been the case since the first attack on Iraq, right?

Before that was the last time the U.S. public actually went against the swamp; that time, it was called "the Establishment."

Now, they're all just chicken hawks promoting a neolib Democratic Party that ironically works with a neocon Republican Party.

Give me a break.

[ecstatic]

16. He's such an idiot. He destroyed a perfect platform

He's not emotionally intelligent and should not be running any company, much less one that was as big as twitter (was). Shame on the previous owners for turning it over to him in the first place, but I guess the 44 billion was too attractive to pass up. I guess I can't blame them in that regard.

Twitter really sucks now. The algorithm is garbage. I'm being shown a bunch of right wing tweets from famous rethugs that I hate and never interact with.
