this New York Times article on the SpaceX IPO spends more time talking about the company's IPO day party plans and decor than they do the fact this is all a giant unworkable con orchestrated by an overt white supremacist huckster

I'm genuinely fascinated by this sort of weird pseudo-journalism. It vaguely looks like journalism but it doesn't actually care about labor, ethics, real-world impact, or even that the key IPO architect is an overt authoritarian

Like, I firmly believe the authors of the NYT piece really think they did a very good job. I suspect they're conditioned by ownership to believe that just sanding off all the relevant bits of truth is just professionalism.

How about the fact that the success of the SpaceX IPO depends on Musk creating a million person settlement on Mars, something that only the delusional could believe will happen in his lifetime, if ever. People thinking of investing need to be given a copy of this book to read.

space.com'A City on Mars' is a reality check for anyone dreaming about life on the Red PlanetIt wasn't until maybe a year before we were done writing — and we wrote for four years — that we decided this book is actually about why space settlements aren't coming soon.

I think they're all waiting around for their horses and roadster 2s like Fred Lambert. 😂

Sometimes they omit the truth; sometimes they add some lies. Here they are today passing on rightwing disinformation

So sure of fulfilling their "heavy burden of objectivity". It seems baked in...truth and facts can seem like an attack to their timid souls. Plus, the boss....
