I will admit, him being on drugs did not occur to me as a possible explanation for his 'taking tesla private' tweet that torpeedoed his networth, but having been confronted by it now I am having a hard time not believing it.
Just FYI
Means "We have no source for this and are probably making it up"
Business Insider is a tabloid shitrag these days
Just FYI, "according to people familiar with the matter" generally means people who are speaking on background and asked to have their identifies protected. I guarantee you that the reporters and their editor(s) know the people involved and have good reason to believe they're familiar with the situation and are reliable sources of information.
Were it a respectable publication I'd agree, but Business Insider has gone rapidly downhill the last couple of years, and is now Daily-Mail-Level tripe
So is the Wall Street Journal also “Daily Mail level tripe”? Because they are the Business Insider’s source for the story.
SO POST THAT THEN AND STOP GIVING BUSINESS INSHITER CLICKS 😂
Did you just miss the reply to you where I said point blank I linked to BI instead of WSJ because of a paywall, or naw?
OP already said they did that to avoid the paywall.
Attacks the source. Then attacks the publication. Then complains further despite that this publication link is just to avoid linking the original paywalled article (from a publication you apparently trust) wherein the same sources provide the same info.
You could have just downvoted and moved along, but instead gestures all around thread.
This is based on a Wall Street Journal report (which I didn’t link because it’s paywalled), so your strange anger at BI is a wee bit misplaced.
Dude is hanging out in a dedicated misogyny porn community.
10 to 1 a MuskRat and just angry his man is being talked about badly.
"Hey there nice post. Unfortunately, here is some bullshit I dug up from your comment history which clearly demonstrates that you are unworthy of expressing your opinion"
Not defending that guy, just really wish this type of behavior would just die along with the rest of r*ddit already. Something something ad hominem falacy
Oh I tend agree, if I was arguing directly against him it would be foul.
However looking through peoples past comments and where they tend to hang out can infer a lot about the person.
No. Media bullshit is sitting at the core of a lot of today's problems and the massive polarisation on basically any topic.
Anger at low level journalism rags and even more at outlets trying to look respectable while actually having a similiar quality (and that definitely includes Business Insider ever since they were bought by the shithole of journalism that is Axel Springer SE) cannot be misplaced at all.
I mean, I'm all on board with anger at BI. It's not that. It's the WSJ article is the OP topic, it's like ranting about Star Trek at a Star Wars convention. Not that it's wrong, just misplaced or at least out of context.
