Twitter Chief Elon Musk had some fun with CBS’s decision to resume its Twitter use on Sunday, less than 48 hours after announcing it would pause its activity on the platform.
"After pausing for much of the weekend to assess the security concerns, CBS News and Stations is resuming its activity on Twitter as we continue to monitor the situation," the CBS News Public Relations team wrote.

That announcement came after CBS News national correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti announced Friday evening during a report on the social media giant, “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."
Musk later followed up with a meme, writing, "Our love will never die."

Musk wasn't the only one to mock the news organization.
CBS News has decided it's once again safe to use Twitter - but only for the moment!

They are continuing to "assess security concerns" and "monitor the situation."
If there are more outbreaks of free speech or hearing from people journalists dislike, they may retreat again. https://t.co/o0ZtgFshCk
CBS’s boycott of twitter lasted about 60 minutes. https://t.co/ftPXSWMQXn

During that pause, everyone on this app was safe from misinformation.

Translation: "we virtue-signalled too impulsively and now are hastily backtracking, although we're trying hard to avoid taking any responsibility for the consequences of our stupidity" @CBSNewsPress
