Most of the Fraud media articles are behind paywall. Doesn't bother me one bit.
I have no doubt in your assessment though, but just curious if you could put a few bullets on why you thought it had anti-Elon sentiment.
“Elon Musk’s SpaceX has received its first contract from the US Space Force to provide customized satellite communications for the military under the company’s new Starshield program, extending the provocative billionaire’s role as a defense contractor.”
So they immediately personalized it to Elon even though SpaceX actually has a lot of shareholders. He might not even own 50% of the company at this point. So it isn’t “his” company. Normally, you’d just talk about SpaceX getting a contract, not Elon getting it, and also normally you wouldn’t label the CEO as provocative.
“Musk’s role in Ukraine received criticism after a new biography disclosed that he refused a request from Ukraine’s government to extend Starlink coverage to Russian-held Crimea to assist in a naval drone attack on Russian targets last year. That was before SpaceX was put on contract by the Pentagon to provide Starlink service to Ukraine. But Musk’s decision — and moves including his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin — sparked questions from some lawmakers about his reliability as a Pentagon supplier, including an inquiry being opened by the Senate Armed Services Committee.”
First sentence doesn’t provide complete context and makes it sound worse than it was, and the second paragraph sounds like he is a national security risk.
“SpaceX is a prime contractor and a critical industry partner for the DoD and the recipient of billions of dollars in taxpayer funding,” a group of Democratic senators said in a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. “We are deeply concerned with the ability and willingness of SpaceX to interrupt their service at Mr. Musk’s whim and for the purpose of handcuffing a sovereign country’s self-defense, effectively defending Russian interests.”
Again, no push back on this egregiously incorrect political statement made by a bunch of idiots (even if they are Senators, but I repeat myself). Then there was a drive by insinuation of improper hiring practices by SpaceX. Finally this gem:
”— With assistance by Dana Hull”. Funny how she (he?) just pops up whenever there’s a negative spin against Elon, eh?
