  1. Wait….you aren’t suggesting musk is a thin skinned petty narcissist who loves to flaunt his power. That his free speech bs is all bs to pump his brand to anybody bedazzled by a rich smug dude. That would be shocking.Report

    1. I think both of these individuals have a track record of being self-centered jackasses, but I suspect this is spin since the entirety of right wing online media all ran the same story at the same time, and also unless Don dropped those demands on Elon during or after the interview Musk knew that going in or – most probably – this is exaggerated to make Lemon look bad after Musk looks bad for sacking him for asking him tough questions.Report

          1. Eh, it’s fair to say that the New York Post is biased out the yin-yang (because it is) and it tends toward sensationalist headlines that are seriously walked back in the story.

            I’m just someone who thinks that that particular criticism is dulled by what the actual story actually says beyond the sensationalist headline. “We reviewed the proposal. That’s what it said.”

            As stories go, we’re not in a place where the deliberately provocative headline is being walked back.

            We are, instead, in “Headless Body in Topless Bar” territory.Report
