Twitter will respond to inquiries from journalists with the poop emoji, according to its owner billionaire Elon Musk.

“press@twitter.com now auto responds with [poop emoji],” the world’s second-richest man tweeted Sunday morning.

Twitter users took to the platform to share their disgust with Musk, who claimed Saturday that the platform “is growing fast” without sharing any evidence of that claim.

A wire service sent an email to the account Sunday morning to test whether the account would reply and received a poop emoji in the reply.

Some users threatened to leave the platform while others just replied to Musk’s tweet with their own poop emoji.

Musk purchased the platform on the promise of promoting free speech, despite some journalists remaining banned from the platform for parodying the billionaire at the time of his purchase of Twitter.

He also briefly banned the accounts of some users who had reported on how to track the location of his private jet, though reportedly has not banned accounts that tracked the locations of other private planes.
