Media outlet CBS News has announced that it is suspending the use of its Twitter accounts just weeks after billionaire Elon Musk took over the social media platform, becoming the first major media entity to take such an action.

During a recent segment titled “Twitter Turmoil,” CBS national correspondent Johnathan Vigliotti insisted that Musk offers “little reassurance” that he has a permanent plan for the social media platform. The report went on to cite a disgruntled former Twitter employee from the company who blamed Musk for creating a “culture of fear and uncertainty” at the firm. In the middle of the segment, Vigliotti announced the media outlet’s new position on using Twitter.
