Twitter CEO Elon Musk reportedly said the social media platform’s recent decision to label NPR as a “state-affiliated media” account might not have been accurate during a series of emails he exchanged with an NPR reporter earlier this week.
Labeling Elon Musk a decent human being might not be accurate.
It would not be a mistake to label Elmo as a pro-Russian fascist.
Playing God is hard. So many decisions for one Elon to make.
Shorter Musk: ¯\(ツ)/¯
Seriously, I hope that NPR stays off Twitter and that other outlets, and people, start doing the same.
Go back where you came from Musk.
This was no mistake. BTW, are Teslas still exploding?
“We apologise for the incorrect labeling of state-affiliated media accounts. Those responsible have been sacked.”
…
“We apologise again, this time for the incorrect correction of mislabeled state-affiliated media accounts. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.”
…
“The labeling of state-affiliated media accounts now has been completed, in an entirely different style at great expense, and at the last minute.”

Who would have thought that if, instead of treating the complex problem of state interference with your social media platform seriously and trying to develop procedures and standards, you decided that a rich imbecile could just “call ‘em as he sees ‘em”, things might be completely ruined?
What’s the saying: once is chance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action?
Musk has transitioned from pseudo-libertarian troll to something a bit worse about now, eh?
Elon Musk is a South African tech twit who got rich by being lucky. He got richer by trading in US government tax credits. He doesn’t know much about much of anything expecially the United States.
What bunch of crap has Elon bought into and what makes him think he can successfully peddle it?
It is interesting to watch someone who is burning through that amount of money be such a sucker.
Twitter is losing its wings, Teslas as are exploding and his satellites are falling from the sky.
He is a disingenuous ass.
His labeling was intentional, not a mistake. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Wealth is an intoxicant, conveying a false sense of privilege, genius, intelligence, self-importance, invincibility, and unparalleled wisdom. By my estimation, there are a lot of such drunks on the scene.
For a multi-billionaire, alpha male type, Elon is amazingly wishy-washy.
