Seeing people say the Musk/Trump split is a distraction reminds me of Alan Moore's thoughts on conspiracy theories
It's more comforting to believe this fight is a work than to accept we are ruled by a handful of volatile dingdongs with fragile egos

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

What we are seeing is media reorienting itself to be messengers from the ownership class to the subjects of the regime not journalism or news as we understood it.

Musk has been chiefly responsible for an unprecedented assault on the government and the civil service, for a blatantly unconstitutional destruction of state capacity that will severely harm millions of people at home and abroad, for an aggressively illegal theft of private data.

Good to see the NYT still has some columnists objecting to their own paper’s attempt to help Musk launder his image.
But: If a somewhat functioning democratic system is to ever again emerge from this mess, reputational damage won’t do. Musk needs to be held accountable in a court of law.

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation... Musk’s sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character — a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he’s seen for the rest of his public life."

For every amazing local journalism story trying to make American lives better, there’s a big, lazy, national media narrative that is hot gutter trash making Americans stupider and lowering their expectations of government to a bullsh*t reality show.

the bit about Africans being active in the slave trade is telling. it’s something that is only relevant if you think the point of discussing slavery is to disburse racial blame rather than understanding history.
amazingly fucked up that the NYT is uncritically publishing the claim, “Race has some biological reality.”
that is, definitionally, racism. textbook.
