Elon Musk insists his dog is Twitter's CEO

ALBAWABA - Twitter's owner Elon Musk said he’s been sleeping on a 7th floor couch in a San Francisco Twitter Library and even joked about making his dog Floki the CEO.

The comment came in a spontaneous interview with the BBC, which had objected to Twitter that its main account had been labelled "government-funded," while the reputable England-based news organization insists that it is "publicly-funded."

BBC has often been accused of adopting the government's line in its reporting. The news organization rejects the claim.

In the interview with BBC correspondent James Clayton, Musk said he always wanted to be as "truthful and accurate as possible." He said: "I think we're adjusting the label to be publicly-funded, which I think is not too objectionable. We're trying to be accurate."

He said he has the "utmost respect for BBC."

The BBC asserted last week that it is, and "always has been, independent." It explained that the outlet is "funded by the British public through the lisence fee."

Twitter's website defined "government-funded media" as an outlet where there may be "varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content."

In the middle of the interview, Musk informed Clayton that he was “not CEO anymore…my dog Floki has taken over," according to Forbes.

Earlier this week, Musk changed the Twitter app logo from a blue bird to a Shiba Inu dog, prompting a 30-percent surge Monday in the price of the Dogecoin.
