Twitter's press email now auto-responds with a poop emoji

After firing the press relationship team at Twitter (and nearly everyone else), CEO Elon Musk is once again showing the dirty, rotten media what he thinks of them.

On Sunday, Musk announced that press@twitter.com, the company's address that used to serve for handling inquiries from the press, now automatically responds with a poop emoji.

We've tested it out, and sure enough, it's true: A few seconds after sending an email to said address, we received a reply containing only one symbol, the dreaded poop emoji. Darn, Musk, you got us again!

This isn't the first time Musk has shown his disdain for press departments. The man fired Tesla's PR department in 2020(Opens in a new tab) and seemingly took over to (fairly randomly) address queries of all sorts on (where else) Twitter.

The ugly side of this is the fact that Twitter is falling apart at the seams as Musk keeps firing workers from Twitter, often offending and denigrating them publicly while doing so – something which PR departments were invented to prevent.

But poop is funny, y'all.

    1. It's probably an AI. Diplomacy actually works with them. You can get them to say whatever you want with the right prompting. However, if you back them into a corner proving they're wrong they get snippy and start spitting out error codes if you aren't diplomatic about it.

  29. Wouldn't it be cool if Twitter inadvertently caused the spawning of a worldwide customer service ledger, populated in real time (with verifiable evidence) and via algorithms and timed blocks on an immutable blockchain everyone in the world can go to and find out about the latest customer service failures or product service ploys (and validate the successful products), Maybe Twittersphere makes some future plan on how its UI will pool all the data and all future humans will be able to look back at the ones who say "provide quality goods and services" and have a record to refer too, that works.
