Elon Musk, escalating his battle with media companies, suggested he may strip NPR of its Twitter handle because it had stopped tweeting.
The billionaire said in a series of emails Tuesday he may transfer the @npr handle — which has remained dormant for weeks — to “another company,” NPR reported. Twitter, which has fired its communications team, did not specifically respond to an emailed request for comment.
