A Year at Elon Musk’s X: Twitter’s Top 10 Wildest Moments of 2023
Elon Musk killed Twitter in 2023 in name and, to many, in spirit.
Musk, the world’s richest person, says he overpaid in swinging the $44 billion deal for Twitter last year — which he rechristened X and has refashioned into his vision of what a “free speech” platform should be. The obstreperous Musk, after hacking X/Twitter’s workforce down to a skeleton crew, drove major advertisers away from X after he endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory. (Musk expressed regret about his comment, but also told Bob Iger and others who pulled ad spending to “go **** yourself.”) And, among other wacky stunts, he manufactured a bizarre feud with Mark Zuckerberg.
It’s tough to narrow down the 10 truly wackiest moments of Musk’s monarchical reign over X/Twitter this year, but here goes...

Those are rather biased views of what happened

Just the news? Sounds like some loads of opinion.Is the Cybertruck a ‘Go F yourself’ from Musk or another broken promise driven by public funds?

You don’t know what news is. Still sucking off the corpse of Walter Cronkite I see. You two have a lot in common, he also thought he was the great disseminator of information after carefully evaluating all positions, but in reality he was just another propagandist…Just the news?

So just what are the opinions of the author in this article, since you seem to be accusing him of such.

“said Alex Stevens, manager of policy and communications for the Institute for Energy Research.”
That is real reporting, quoting what others say, not what the reporter thinks and feels. WTF?

I agree the idea of the creation of any article begins with the bias of just what topics to chose to write.Seriously Mike. You think he put it there because he disagreed with it or even didn't have an opinion? He led with that. That sets up the whole article.
Which part of the article do you think shows evidence of his claim?
