Shouldn’t this is be a major topic of discussion on all major traditional media news outlets? An oligarch controlling one of the major social media platforms with billions of taxpayer funded contracts implicating national security is enamored with race science? Where is the non stop coverage?

I think its not a news story (anymore) cause most ppl who would read that allready know what kind of type Elon is and what he is pushing. (one of its main goal is to dehumanzie the poor, different and unluck and freethinking people and thus to make money without any social responsibility)

I think the fist fight that never happened got more coverage than his specific goal to turn twitter into a right wing propaganda hellscape, which people still think he wasn't competent enough to pursue for whatever reason

The fact that Musk is still a considered a media darling is downright sickening, and they’re essentially helping him to further promote his bigotry.

He is not an oligarch. An oligarch and I dislike repeating it, is a person outside of the market economy, isn't actually rich as the state can and does revoke their wealth, and they have to own services necessary for human function. Elon qualifies for neither category.

If we required every company that gets government funding to not have a racist CEO or culture we may be left with no companies getting government funding. Now that would shift the system real quick.

It's been killed by PR agencies, just like Trump's conviction in a sex crime and felony fraud case and Jeffrey Epstein's "Oh we had dinner while he was getting a massage from an underage girl, but who knew he was a paedophile?" Democracy is being defeated by PR agencies owning journalism.

Nothing with his name or his social media brand should get any daylight at all. And that thing Lemon is his business. Try to avoid skewing a personal differences into racism. Elon is no saint and I don't think much of him but racism should be clear cut. I don't see a pattern.

But the billionaires who own the news companies appear to be fine with anything that gets them closer to another two trillion dollar tax break.

The MSM have a weird bias at the moment where I think they don't want to seem alarmist and so they treat him (and Trump too) as a puzzling curiosity when in fact he is just a racist. Or they maybe learned the wrong lesson from 2016 ("don't repeat lies/slurs -- in fact, don't cover them at all").

Of course it should be a major topic of discussion. So should the fact that eugenics is making a comeback. But it won't. That kind of reporting requires a robust press, which no longer exists; and an audience who cares, who are in decline.
