Pet peeve: I don’t like when media outlets do this. CNBC *KNOWINGLY* messaged a defunct email address at Twitter that they KNOW is programmed to respond with this emoji (and has been for 8 months).

Just email Musk directly for comment. We all have his contact info. It’s such a farce to email a dead email acct you KNOW will return this emoji then act like it’s some sacrilege and write it up in this way.

@taylorlorenz a serious company would never have started responding to media this way in the first place, and certainly would not continue to do so. Sure this is what #musk wants, but I think it is also worthwhile for the media to continue to remind the world that #twitter is not a serious company and its CEO is a flake.
