Elon Musk poked fun at CBS for returning to Twitter after less than a 48-hour hiatus due to "uncertainty" with the platform under his management
Two days after the major news network said it would suspend all Twitter usage, CBS announced that it will resume activity Sunday as it continues to monitor "security concerns" they have with the platform since the billionaire Tesla CEO took over the company.
"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 on Twitter.
CBS' departure marked one of the first major media entities to flee Twitter in the wake of threats from many Musk critics to leave the platform with him at the helm.
Mocking their short-lived hiatus from Twitter, Musk responded to the network's statement Sunday afternoon with a giggling emoji. His wordless response received nearly 100,000 likes in an hour.

So they just tossed their “out of an abundance of caution” blather right out the window! What did their “abundant caution” get them for two days?

CBS News should be banned from Twitter for impersonating a reputable news organization.

What did their “abundant caution” get them for two days? Plenty of hard drinking and screaming?

The real security concern is for Twitter to continue allow them on the platform.

They are monitoring the situation. They were hoping that others would follow them...but will now wait to see if others go.
