Twitter

NPR's official Twitter feeds have gone silent. The news organization cites the social media platform's decision to question NPR's editorial independence through a series of inaccurate labels.

NPR operates independently of the U.S. government. NPR has asked Twitter to remove the label, calling it "unacceptable." But Twitter CEO Elon Musk says it "seems accurate."

Elon Musk brought a sink into Twitter headquarters on Wednesday, in anticipation of owning the social media company by the end of the week.

The social media company is asking a Delaware court to force the world's richest man to follow through on his agreement to buy it for $44 billion.

In a 5-to-4 vote, the court granted a request from Big Tech industry trade groups, which argued the law would unleash a flood of racist, hateful and other extremist content on social media platforms.

The sale caps a dizzying saga for Twitter and Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a prolific user of the social media platform.

The defensive move from Twitter is an attempt to fend off Musk's hostile takeover attempt of the social network.

Twitter has permanently blocked the @realDonaldTrump account after President Trump posted messages that violated the company's rules.

Twitter on Wednesday put President Trump on notice: If he does not stop breaking the platform's rules, he will be permanently banned.

Last week, the company was a notable exception after a wave of other major tech companies banned the conspiracy theorist and his main channels. Jones cannot tweet on his main account for one week.
