When you think about a burning question you want to ask the CIA, you likely don’t immediately think to inquire about rapper Tupac Shakur. Someone did, though, and the CIA wants America to know that it doesn’t have a clue about Tupac’s whereabouts.
In commemoration of its first month on Twitter, the CIA took 10 minutes Monday to respond to five of the top questions its followers asked, using the hashtag #twitterversary to mark the answers.
Dedicated followers of @CIA — over 600,000, to be exact — learned on this twitterversary that the CIA doesn’t know any of your passwords, the organization is in fact hiring even in the Obama economy, and @CIA refuses to follow Ellen Degeneres, in addition to the Tupac news.
Twitter users obviously liked the Tupac tidbit, as the tweet already has tens of thousands of retweets and favorites.
However, it’s pretty clear to anyone in America who read the news in 1996 that Tupac was shot and killed. His precise location is on his mother’s farm in North Carolina, where his ashes were buried.
Maybe it’s not that the CIA doesn’t know where Tupac is, but rather who he is. Either way, @CIA got a lot of retweets and Twitter attention on its twitterversary. (Mission accomplished?)
