Elon Musk trolls CBS News after it comes 'crawling back' to Twitter, blasts New York Times as 'far left brainwashing'

CBS News stopped posting content on Twitter because of the social media company's alleged "uncertainty" under new CEO Elon Musk. However, the news network couldn't make it for a full 48 hours before returning to Twitter.

The official Twitter account of CBS News stopped posting at 3:45 p.m. on Friday.

"In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform," CBS News said in a statement on Friday.

CBS News and other CBS-owned properties stopped using Twitter.

However, CBS News didn't make it two days before returning to Twitter and tweeting on Sunday morning – just hours after Musk reinstated the Twitter account of former President Donald Trump.
