Wow this x post is incredibly misleading.
-We’ve already been over that Reuters and “Thompson Reuters” are separate divisions. Not to mention there’s nothing indicating that the government contracts paid to Thompson Reuters had anything to do with Musk’s companies. This is the Politico nonsense all over again, trying to tie unrelated funding to a bias for something totally different. Major stretch IMO. Besides, was there anything false in the Reuters reporting into Musk’s companies? I would think we should celebrate shining a light on dangerous workplace conditions, regardless of who the CEO is, but maybe that’s just me.
-Is there evidence that “all 11 agencies targeted Elon’s businesses”? I just see a picture with a bunch of lines, some of which just say “oversight.” Others say “violations/fines,” if the violations were legitimate I wouldn’t call that being “targeted.” I can’t seem to find the source of the image, possibly this but it’s paywalled - https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/us/politics/elon-musk-federal-agencies-contracts.html
-Interesting to call out millions in government funding paid to Reuters, but not billions paid to Musk’s companies. As I’ve said before, hopefully DOGE can find some waste there too.
