SNP government could boycott Twitter, FM warns

Elon Musk has kept the British media busy in recent days, after persistently posting criticism of UK politicians over the grooming gangs scandal – and even calling for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to be incarcerated. But actions have consequences and the billionaire businessman may soon be about to see what happens when he’s deemed to have gone too far. In fact the Twitter CEO may be about to feel the wrath of the Scottish National party which, reports claim, is considering leaving the social media site for greener pastures. However will Musk cope?

Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney has admitted that he is still on Twitter at the moment because he wants to ‘use all channels to communicate with the public’. But the SNP leader has warned that he and the Scottish government could stop using the platform altogether if it was no longer deemed ‘appropriate’. The FM went on to raise concerns about ‘how it has been used by Elon Musk’ and nodded to public scepticism of the site and its ‘appropriateness…as a communications channel’.
