It’s time to change how we cover Elon Musk
My vote is for: “with tar and feathers”
I actually think Zuck does want to kick Musk’s ass. At the same time I think Mark is going with it just to call Elon’s bluff.
How about we start right now? Just don’t post anything related to him until it’s actually confirmed to be actually happening and not just him shitposting.
You don’t. Not everything he does and says is newsworthy. Those who are really interested follow him in socials anyway.
Stop reporting on what he wants you to, and instead report what he doesn’t.
Part of the problem is news consumers, that was part of the point of the article. “News” outlets know they can just embed a musk X-eet, write a couple of paragraphs of context (or have AI do it), add the headline “Musk says ____” and boom an easy ten thousand clicks. The author argues these outlets should at least acknowledge prominently in their articles that Musk is a serial liar. He specifically calls out a few outlets over their coverage of Musks unilateral claim that the fight will be streamed on X without ever acknowledging that the claim was likely bullshit without Zucks verification. Just shitty clickbait journalism.
i suggest you treat him like a hostile, manipulative entity, and assume that nothing comes out of that mouth straight… imagine that everything he says is coming from Isengard… it’ll help you…
