Twitter's auto-reply poop emoji to press inquiries is eroticize equalityno more.

Back in March, owner Elon Musk announced that Twitter's press email would now auto-reply to every message with a poop emoji:

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

This came months after mass layoffs at Twitter in November last year, with the communications department "almost entirely" gutted.

Now, in July, the press email has a different auto-response: "We'll get back to you soon."

Musk tweeted about this change this week, stating, "We are changing the auto-reply from 💩 to a 'We will get back to you soon' infinite loop." In a reply to that he said, "Or maybe a 'Check with us again tomorrow' loop."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

As Insider muses, this press reply change may be due to leadership shifts at the company. Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino started last month; her first message to employees stated that she would follow Musk's vision, but dressed it in more corporate speak. It makes sense, then, that Twitter changed its auto-reply to something more palatable — even if it is just as meaningless.
