Elon Musk threatens to reassign NPR's Twitter account.

Elon Musk threatened to reassign NPR's Twitter account to another company after the media outlet left the platform last month. NPR left Twitter after the platform gave a "state-affiliated media" label to the outlet and others, which was later removed and replaced with one stating that the outlets like NPR were "government funded." Musk later clarified that his policy is to recycle handles that are definitively dormant, and that no special treatment is given to NPR. NPR CEO John Lansing has said he lost faith with Twitter's decision-making and needs time to determine if the platform can be trusted.
