Not even neutrinos, which is probably what you meant, are quite massless. But my understanding is that the radio beams and such come out of the neutron star's magnetic field, and maybe its interaction with the surrounding gas. So its energy budget probably comes from the star's angular momentum, not converting its mass into energy.
