    It might be fairer to say the journalists jumped conclusions. But the not doing research part may be accurate.

      I mean, the headline is factually correct - maybe there’s an explanation for it (which still raises questions of their reliability for real-time organization moving forward), but it also is extremely suspect seeing as Musk initially was going to buy Twitter to “save democracy” by shaping public discourse, and he’s very anti-union (auto workers in particular)

      Better than even odds this was added thoughtlessly during the impersonator checkmark fiasco (which would still be news), but I’m not giving them the benefit of the doubt until I hear from some engineers no longer with Twitter
