That's what Elon Musk always deserved. He was patently a fraud, transparently a cheat and a fake, a person who was mainly good at nepotism and getting other people to cover for his blunders. But U.S. #media and #journalism and #politics were all hot to pile onto the 100% fake synthetic Elon Musk bandwagon which must surely have been built chiefly at the behest of his mom, Maye Musk, who has always been quietly standing behind her difficult unpredictable son all these years, who connived with Walter Isaacson in writing Musk's official hagiography.
How on Earth could all the journalists and reporters not noticed? There's many answers to that. Journalism has given up the better part of its lifeblood to capitalism, and it's hep to hate journalists again.

The commentariat has become infested with people who have no other reason to be in #media or #journalism than social-climbing and seeking the proximity of men of influence (and the occasional woman), giving themselves freely over to corruption and nepotism and swapping bribes. People like Matt Yglesias and Jesse Singal and the other hyperpolitical journalists are always hoping they might luck into a plum role that really brings in the bucks and the access to power, like being a campaign advisor or a star role on #Substack or something like that.
