   It’s time to change how we cover Elon Musk
   After a weekend of whoppers about X and fighting Mark Zuckerberg, the press should take a more skeptical approach

     @shoq @caseynewton I mean, the best time was years ago but I guess the second best time is now. Wish the press didn’t have to wait until someone goes full fascist before growing a conscience.

     I’m optimistic that business journalists are able to learn what political journalists have aggressively refused to.

     Shareholders, boards, and limited partners are a discriminating bunch.

     In other words, I don’t think it’s necessarily a conscience, I think it’s about money and value destruction.
