Tesla CEO Elon Musk has never been one to shy away from a Twitter feud, and his latest target is none other than National Public Radio (NPR). It all started when Twitter labeled NPR as “state-affiliated media” in April, prompting outrage from the organization and its supporters.<\/p>\n

While some argued that the label went against Twitter’s terms of service, it was eventually changed to “state-funded media.” However, Musk wasn’t content to let the issue die there.<\/p>\n

On May 2nd, NPR tweeted that its Twitter account had stopped tweeting due to a technical issue. Musk responded by threatening to reassign the account<\/a>, saying “Looks lame, guess I’ll reassign the account.” NPR quickly reported the tweet and Musk responded with two simple words: “You suck.”<\/p>\n
