oh no a bunch of startup people are tweeting about a plane as if it's a operational supersonic aircraft when actually it's a scale model and it doesn't fly

Look, based on DMs and replies, a lot of tech enthusiasts who read lots of tweets and headlines and maybe even clicked on a video still had no idea there's no flying plane yet, or that the XB-1 isn't what they're betting their business on.
But they're just random people on social media, and you are a tech journalist. It's your job to get these things right before expressing opinions about them. And the threshold for certainty is even higher for snarky, dismissive opinions.

Oh, Techmeme doesn't do aerospace news. (It's more about digital/software.) I'm writing here as a grumpy person on twitter, not an aerospace editor/journalist/whatever.
