Twitter chief Elon Musk has “threatened” to redistribute national public radio’s(NPR) Twitter account to another company, the US-based broadcaster informed on Tuesday.
Musk suggested he redistribute the network’s original account under the @NPR handle to another company or individual, NPR reported.
NPR stopped posting content on its 52 official Twitter feeds last month in protest over a Twitter designation that suggested government involvement in its editorial content.
Musk, in an email to an NPR reporter, asked about his engagement with Twitter, the public broadcaster said.
“So is NPR going to start posting on Twitter again, or should we reassign @NPR to another agency?” NPR quoted Musk as saying.
“Our policy is to recycle handles that are definitely dormant,” he said in another email. “Same policy applies to all accounts. No special treatment for NPR.”
