Just as Twitter extended an olive branch to the MTA with free API access, Elon Musk emailed an NPR reporter threatening to reassign the outlet’s account.

The NPR stopped posting last month after Twitter tried adding account labels indicating it was controlled by the government.

Twitter’s own rules indicate an account is active as long as someone’s logging in, not whether they’re posting. But, those rules also used to use NPR as an example of an account that didn’t fit the criteria of a “state-owned” media organization. Things change.
