> After officials explained to him the protocols for conducting relief flights—protocols that everyone with any actual business in the region had no trouble understanding—the flights apparently resumed without incident. To be fair to Musk, last time he showed up to a crisis in which he had no relevant experience, he produced a hilariously useless rescue submarine and ended up inviting a nine-figure defamation lawsuit. So in at least one sense, a dumb but easily resolved misunderstanding has to be seen as an improvement.

Thank you for pointing this out. It is disappointing to see a lot of journalism is so captured by ideologues. It used to be a trustworthy institution, but now you really have to watch out for these types of authors.

What does this have to do with the fact that Elon Musk is using his X platform to spread lies about hurricane relief efforts? Lies that are hampering those efforts?

IDK about you, but in my book, I call that evil. I really don't give a fsck about the ideology of the reporter reporting it.

I dont know what the facts of the matter are. All I have to go on is the partisan framing from a political hack at FastCompany. Which is to say I have nothing to go on at all.
