Generally not a fan of Nicholas Kristof but he's a sound person to track the deaths that Elon claims haven't occurred on his watch.

@emptywheel.bsky.social the saddest thing about this is not that Elon Musk sucks. This is an established fact and mostly uninteresting.
The saddest thing is that nobody in the whole wide world was aware and willing to pick up the slack. If I go without food for a day, I could cover 100 days of life for one of the people in this story, and I would have been totally willing to do that.
Wtf is wrong with us?
@emptywheel.bsky.social The guy who sweeps our streets is an ex-con (armed robbery). He's trying to go straight. A bit like "Alias Smith & Jones", he ever killed anyone.
The Mump unit is so far beneath him I don't have the right words. :-(
