      There’s also the FTC investigation and potential Enron/Theranos-like collapse of Tesla. The election isn’t the only area where Elon is prone too wildly misleading claims, and fortunately the finance sector is regulated a bit better than less essential things like electing the leader of the free world and not letting traitorous criminals topple democracy

      And yet mentions of things like this are treated as lunacy by certain users.

          Tesla discontinued the Cybertruck

          SpaceX remains unchanged

          X/Twitter removes bots

            It would be pretty cool if SpaceX stopped speedrunning turning their surrounding lands into MadMax style polluted wastelands, though.

      I mean, it says right at the top of the article:

      Source: The Wall Street Journal

      Should it be reported on more? Absolutely. But it’s disingenuous to say American media is not reporting it.

        I would guess they mean american media in general instead of just one of them.

        The general public didn’t read the WSJ, and being behind a paywall hasn’t increased the number of people who do.

          It’s a WSJ exclusive from 9 last night. It’s not surprising there are not a lot of articles about it yet. The media sucks there is no reason to bitch about nothing.

        Probably also that it’s been a full two years plus and nobody’s said anything while he’s raking in billions from the US government for sensitive national programs including the Ukranian army’s internet connectivity.

        A banana is not a bunch of bananas. Right?

        WSJ is not “American media” by the same token.

          It seems kind of silly to expect all media companies to immediately cover a story that broke less than 12 hours earlier.

          But it’s starting to happen. Happy?

            Sort of? If its been ongoing for two years and we already know they’re in contact it seems like corporate news is either incompetent because they didn’t think to ask one question (“how often do they talk”) or they’ve been sitting on the story for - reasons.

      The whole Western world is being played by Putin. Right wing parties are on the rise in pretty much every Western country and every single one has had suspicious connections to Russia.
