Elon Musk lists NPR as State-affiliated media
Elon Musk’s Twitter abruptly labeled National Public Radio (NPR) as “U.S. State-affiliated media,” provoking protest and debate.
Yesterday Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, changed the labeling on the National Public Radio Twitter account. It now appears as “US State-affiliated Media.”
NPR labeling change
