It’s time to change how we cover Elon Musk
My vote is for: “with tar and feathers”

I actually think Zuck does want to kick Musk’s ass. At the same time I think Mark is going with it just to call Elon’s bluff.
If I were Zuck, I’d be dragging this thing out as long as it takes. See how many excuses Musk can make before he finally admits (he won’t) defeat.
Agreed. Either of the end results is a win for Zuck
It wont happen because Musk would get his ass handed to him every single round. Zuck is fit and has martial arts background
i suggest you treat him like a hostile, manipulative entity, and assume that nothing comes out of that mouth straight… imagine that everything he says is coming from Isengard… it’ll help you…
You don’t. Not everything he does and says is newsworthy. Those who are really interested follow him in socials anyway.
Stop reporting on what he wants you to, and instead report what he doesn’t.
Part of the problem is news consumers, that was part of the point of the article. “News” outlets know they can just embed a musk X-eet, write a couple of paragraphs of context (or have AI do it), add the headline “Musk says ____” and boom an easy ten thousand clicks. The author argues these outlets should at least acknowledge prominently in their articles that Musk is a serial liar. He specifically calls out a few outlets over their coverage of Musks unilateral claim that the fight will be streamed on X without ever acknowledging that the claim was likely bullshit without Zucks verification. Just shitty clickbait journalism.
How about we start right now? Just don’t post anything related to him until it’s actually confirmed to be actually happening and not just him shitposting.
But then how will the media get the ad money generated from clicks?
Yeah if he does something fine. If he says something, that’s worthless.
It’s hard to ignore someone with that much capital…
No, it’s really quite easy.
Shitty journalism and paparazzi make it hard to ignore people whose sole personality trait is “money”.
Then let his actions and not his tweets speak.

The best way to cover that person would be with six feet of dirt
he is getting an MRI on Monday of his neck and upper back
I wonder if they were able to find a spine?
😂
Is “completely ignore him” and option?
Not if you use Lemmy
Whatever he says is meant to either feed his ego or his coffers. So just assume lie, exaggeration or straight lunacy. I don’t even know why anyone gives him 2m. Whatever he’s ever said about tech, he’s been either somewhat or totally out to lunch.

Tech news with a hefty dose of socioeconomics and politics. I literally get the same thing from my news communities. I just want tech discussion in isolation :'(
Yes. Stop covering them unless they actually do something of importance to the public.
I could not care less about what dumb shit Musk said. To me it has no more weight than what a random person on a bus stop says.
Actually here’s the benchmark, if it’s something that wouldn’t be covered if it was said/done by a random man on the street, then don’t cover it if it’s said/done by musk.
I wish we changed to just not cover him at all. It is insanely hard to ignore reading about his inane activities.
So it’s not going to be a sports fight, but rather a competition in ‘juggling with lies and false promises’.
Guess who’s the one who has more experience in that field?
