BREAKING: @NPR drops bombshell, reveals that Elon Musk just sent them a “series” of angry emails “threatening” to revoke their Twitter handle and “reassign it to another company” if they don’t “start tweeting again.”
One ex-Twitter executive was shocked by Musk’s threat, telling NPR that such a threat “should be alarming to any business operating on the site, since it indicates that acquiescing to Musk's every whim may be necessary in order to avoid being impersonated on Twitter.”
Social media experts say that Musk’s threat “poses a serious risk of impersonation and could imperil a company's reputation” and that “if this is a sign of things to come on Twitter, we might soon see even more of a rapid retreat by media organizations and other brands that don't think it's worth the risk," said Emily Bell, a professor at Columbia Journalism School who studies social media. "It's really an extraordinary threat to make."
Last month, NPR effectively quit Twitter after Musk applied a label to the news organization's account that falsely suggested it was state-controlled. Other public media organizations, including PBS and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., followed suit and stopped tweeting following similar labeling.
In an email sent at 2:19 a.m. EST after this story was originally published on the NPR website, Musk wrote a new email to NPR without any text in the body but with this subject line: "You suck."
Please RT to expose Musk’s awful tenure as Twitter CEO, smash the ❤️ if you have NPR’S back against him, and consider joining the growing exodus to https://t.co/3VM3MqTSy0, a new Twitter alternative that I created that Musk is trying to keep everyone from finding out about. He banned Tribel’s Twitter account last week — but he has yet to ban this link to download Tribel’s new app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A

Good morning to readers.
Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one.
Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce.
I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.
But this time, alone.
Join us @GPS_UCSD on 5/3 at 11 am for a discussion on green careers as a Latinx. We'll have @equityspc_sd, @b_gmillan, & @SebasSarria1 share their journeys and advice to students. All are welcome!
Everyone, pls meet Latinxs in Sustainability.
LiS is an org I've been involved with lately. Our goal is to create inclusive spaces for Latinx folks in the sustainability space.
I brought it to SD & if you'd like to partner or learn more, pls reach out!

Fun fact: There were 1,280 gigawatts of clean power projects stuck waiting in queues to connect to the grid as of the end of 2022.
If 50% of those were built, that would be all the new capacity needed to cut US GHGs to 50% of peak levels by 2030 & be on path to net-zero by 2050.
