And that "female journalists dare to question" angle, holy shit. As if Musk isn't challenging male journalists too? She's being challenged because she's a disingenuous ass, which is what you hired her to be. Pro wrestling is more credible.

Web journalism is like a mechanical chicken separator, but for sociopathy. Anything with a spine gets blasted bare and removed.
