Twitter’s press department auto-responds with the poo emoji – and tweeters are dumping on Elon Musk

When Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 million, a lot of people were worried that he might not be the steady hand the social media company needed.

But with staffing numbers slashed, outages increasing, anti-semitism at an all-time high and many previously banned extremists now indulging in systematic trolling, people’s minds have been put at ease.

Oh, wait …

Still – at least he isn’t wasting his time closing off an important line of communication to make the joke of a 12-year-old.

He must have been feeling flush. Tweeters had a few thoughts on the (fecal) matter.

$44 billion well spent https://t.co/QDjDR69xwK

Money, besides not being able to buy happiness also apparently can’t buy anything resembling a sense of humour either. https://t.co/HY9uKXmYNi

Elon Musk is what happens when a 13-year-old kid who creeps out the girls at his school makes a wish on a can of Monster to be rich and wakes up in the body of a billionaire. https://t.co/zlLJMCS0Ak

Haha get it it’s funny because Twitter used to have a respected press team and a culture envied by other tech businesses. https://t.co/Fj0dNDyWWc

It's fantastic that you're sending a company prospectus with every press request.

This is not the own you think it is, as a matter of fact it just proves your incompetence. https://t.co/yDRBm13nL1 pic.twitter.com/E25MyiHCG7

Some people tested his claim.
