Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced on Sunday morning that all press requests to the social media platform will be met with one auto-response: the poop emoji.
Musk tweeted that all requests by journalists to the social media network's company press department email"[email protected]" will now be greeted with the brief response. [email protected] now auto responds with 💩After an email inquiry from the Washington Examiner, the automated response that came back was indeed the emoji with no words.
Musk has been openly critical of the media's lack of coverage of his"Twitter Files" bombshells on the platform. News outlets, including NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, and CNN, frequently avoided coverage of Musk's Twitter revelations. In December, Musk suspended several high-profile reporters related to the tracking of his private jet and later reinstated their accounts with a tweet,"No special treatment for corpo journalists anymore."
Last summer, Musk's growing rift with the media reached its peak when he complained in a tweet that the attention on him had gone"supernova" with"trivial articles." Musk's new automated email response of a poop emoji to journalists was met with several social media users cheering him on."That’s exactly the comment they deserve," Kari Lake, the former Republican nominee for Arizona governor, wrote on Sunday.Another social media user called the tech billionaire a"master troll."
