March 19 (UPI) -- Controversial billionaire Elon Musk has announced that Twitter, which he purchased last year, will respond to inquiries from journalists with the poop emoji.
The email account for the company's media relations team, which used to handle questions from journalists before Musk's acquisition of the platform, went dark after the $44 billion purchase and his subsequent firing of thousands of employees.
"press@twitter.com now auto responds with [poop emoji]," the world's second-richest man tweeted Sunday morning.
UPI sent an email to the account Sunday morning to test whether the account would reply and received a poop emoji in the reply.
