Nick Robinson says social media was hacked as his ‘defences were down’ BBC journalist Nick Robinson has said his social media was hacked as his “defences were down” after “a very long day”.
Robinson replied saying “you’re not the only one who discovered this last night”, adding: “I was woken up at about 11 o’clock to find that I had accidentally tweeted to a million people that I was indeed launching a new cryptocurrency called ‘dollar today’ on something called Solana, which you no doubt know about, but I thought was probably one of those drinks that you give to kids after they’ve been swimming.
Robinson replied: “It was absolutely clear that Mr Musk’s American supporters had taken a personal animus because I had been swamped by critical messages after I pointed out that what Mr Musk said on air, that the BBC takes money from USAID (United States Agency for International Development), an organisation he’s dismantling, is simply not true.
Robinson, a former BBC political editor, is also a presenter on BBC Radio 4 show Political Thinking, and presents The Today Podcast with Rajan.
Rajan said: “Life comes at you fast and very digitally when you’re a tech bro and meanwhile, also on Twitter/X, my very own tech bro, the mighty Nick Robinson, has finally succumbed to the temptations online, and I see overnight, is launching a cryptocurrency.
