As seen on Twitter
In: 0
Elon Musk is capriciously and arbitrarily applying labels and changing how those labels are applied to target news organizations he perceives as his enemies. What they mean, from the perspective of Twitter, is changing based on his whims in an attempt to blur the lines between actual government run propaganda outlets masquerading as news (such as those operated in and controlled by China and Russia), and editorially independent, but receiving public funding either directly (i.e. individual citizens donate) or indirectly (tax money that is then allocated by the government) organizations (such as NPR or the BBC).
Its an incredibly dishonest tactic meant to sew distrust towards organizations that have accurately reported information about Musks many recent scandals and failures as owner of Twitter. Its also extremely hypocritical since Musks companies, particularly Space-X but also Tesla, receive significant amounts of government funding to operate.
