Bobby Allyn (born November 1987) is an American journalist for National Public Radio. He covers technology with a focus on accountability in social media and among the Silicon Valley elite. He previously worked as a reporter at NPR member stations WHYY in Philadelphia and Nashville Public Radio.
Career
Allyn began his career writing for *The Oregonian*, the daily newspaper in Portland. He later moved to *The Tennessean* in Nashville, where he covered state and federal courts. He then moved to Philadelphia, where he was a breaking news and criminal justice reporter for WHYY, and he covered the two criminal trials of Bill Cosby.
In May 2023, Elon Musk sent an email to Allyn with the subject line "You suck." This was in response to an NPR story Allyn wrote in which Musk made a threat to Allyn over email that he would reassign NPR's Twitter handle if the news organization did not resume posting from its account. This incident occurred after NPR quit Twitter due to a label applied by Musk that falsely suggested NPR was state-controlled media. The label led Allyn to start an email exchange with Musk that resulted in several stories.
