At least three public radio stations preceded NPR to the exits at Twitter: Member stations KCRW in Santa Monica, Calif., WESA in Pittsburgh and WEKU, which serves central and eastern Kentucky. (After NPR said that it was leaving Twitter on Wednesday, Boston-based WBUR announced that it, too, would stop posting on the platform “in solidarity with NPR,” according to a statement from its CEO, Margaret Low.)

I disagree. Commenter/editorial based sites like TPM should be the ones to stick it out and document the decline.
I’ve lived in the bay area. San Francisco is an outlier with respect to the rest of the country. And it’s still too soon to know how Musk’s recent unprofessional behavior will affect his long term business prospects. He got Tesla in trouble a few years ago with the SEC, had to pay multimillion dollar fines and had to step down as the chair of Tesla. It’s easy to see Musk continue to behave badly and make bad business decisions.
Amazing. The next thing you know, Musk will be like TFG and say he doesn’t even know who Matt Taibbi is and has never met him. Maybe he’s the coffee boy. Yeah, that’s it. He’s the coffee boy.
Elon Musk is a petty, vindictive, and truly insecure POS. I never realized how many fucked up billionaires there are out there. But wowser, this guy has to be at the top of the list of pathological rich guy nutjobs.
Yeah, it’s almost as if…oh, I don’t know…maybe there’s a connection between being a billionaire and being a psychopath?
(Just spitballin’ here.)
I am no billionaire… or even a millionaire and if it means being a psychopath??
Oy!!
Now i guess i know why I’ve ever had a tweeter account with that barking bird. Or is it a tweetering dog?
GOOD!
I support my local NPR station. But I never have and never will support Twitter.
There’s just no gettin’ around it - Munt is a c*nt.
Maybe all of here outliers in that we pay attention to details like this, I don’t believe bad news about Musk is widely reported. So, he’ll go on and on and on.
One writer’s opinion.
Elon musk is a government subsidized c*nt.
I agree. Anyone who stays is legitimizing the right wing cesspool. Create a sock account and document the atrocities anonymously if you want to see what is going on.
That’s fine. Makes sense to give Elon a minute to do the right thing. He probably won’t, but they have to let it play out.
He tweeted that NPR should be defunded.
Ah, ok. Hopefully, they’ll close their accounts soon. Hopefully, that will hasten his own defunding.
I don’t get why journalists don’t have one of their organizations just make their own microblogging site, since they’ve come to depend on it so much. It’s not like there aren’t a bunch of former Twitter employees who already know how to build such a site.
The issue is that there is no consensus of where to go after leaving Twitter. Spoutible? Post? Mastodon?
