• So many headlines these days end with a question mark/s. "YOU ASK ME?? Don't. Study the facts." Or: "YOU TELL ME. Find out, report it.". We can only guess journalists are too lazy to do actual work, they just quote "tweets" instead.

• Articles that quote "tweets" as sources = publications that are controlled by Elon Musk through curation (algorithmic bias). No need for Musk to bribe thousands of publishers like Bill Gates does.
