         @zachleat thank you Zach: Musk doesn’t want credible news sources on Twitter.

         First the journalists, then NPR, the BBC will be next.

            @wtrmt ah, I think this gives him too much credit, but maybe! I doubt he sees this as a desirable outcome and I’m happy they called his bluff.

               Musk is a closeted white supremacist (he acts like one). Seen through that lens, his actions and contradictions paint a clear picture.

                  @wtrmt Agree! With this particular action I see the intent to appease folks that complain about “The Mainstream Media” by branding them with a warning label—my doubt only extends to the idea that his goal all along was to get NPR to quit Twitter. Far more likely (and more evidence to suggest) that his leadership style closely resembles Tesla autopilot—a very particular form of inept, brazen, unpredictable dangerous

                     @zachleat you’re right: that was not his goal, it is a consequence that he is willing to accept.

   @zachleat ugh who would cast shade on our beloved NPR. Good on them for pulling out.
