Looking forward to his NYT op/ed
Sorry did I type NYT I also meant WSJ
@danhon New York Post. Journal of the John Birch Society. National Enquirer.
@danhon "Musk's sometimes-strained relationship with the media raises questions about the limits of his commitment to giving even critical reporters a platform."
@sashax @danhon That one point was true! Don’t post about his jet, or anything else he doesn’t like!
@danhon goddamn it they are probably going to let him aren't they

"A spokesman for the New York Times called the suspensions “questionable and unfortunate” in a statement Thursday night."

NYT Did Musk a Political Favor - FAIR

This piece reinforces the feeling among the paper’s left-wing critics that the New York Times is hopelessly devoted to protecting the 1%.

@danhon

Is NYT even actually paying attention?

@danhon It might be time to consider that his political leaning is that of anarchist.
@danhon "Musk is tolerant of journalism he agrees with, while expressing discomfort with views he disagrees with."
@danhon Aha! It looks like NYTimes Pitchbot has some competition now.
Is DougJBalloon on Mastadone?

@danhon Found it. He's got a mirror account:

@dougjballoon

@danhon So the narcissistic billionaire acts like a abusive hypocritical asshole. Is anyone surprised?
