Elon Musk Responds After Norway Govt Twitter Accounts labelled As ‘Nigeria’

Elon Musk, Twitter’s new CEO, responded on Wednesday to a post by Norway’s foreign ministry highlighting how the social media site incorrectly labeled top Norwegian diplomats and politicians as Nigerians. In a single word, the billionaire apologized and wrote, “Sorry!”

The mix-up was pointed in a rather mocked up tweet by Norway’s foreign ministry on Tuesday to Twitter support. In the post, they mentioned that the Twitter handles of Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and foreign minister Anniken Huitfeldt were also showing them as Nigerian government officials.

“As much as we enjoy our excellent bilateral relations and close alphabetical vicinity with Nigeria, we would much appreciate if you could label us as Norway. P.S. That also goes for Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Anniken Huitfeldt,” Norway’s foreign ministry tweeted.

As per Twitter’s recent updates following the October takeover by Musk, labels on government accounts give additional context for profiles extensively involved in diplomacy and geopolitics.
