Have a read of this appalling story of Musk joining in on some completely unwarranted outrage farming on an old story, and how it affects the journalists involved.
What Musk doesn't seem to realise is that he isn't just some idiot in his basement tweeting away to no great effect; he's an idiot with an incredibly high profile and a nutty, semi-cultish following. What's even more annoying, he doesn't make a living out of cult leadership and/or outrage farming, like Russell Brand or Musk's not-so-merry band of Tweeters such as Catturd or Cheong. No, Musk does it just for free.
And no, I don't give any credit for the fact that he has allowed "Readers added context" following his tweet to explain (in mild terms) that this is a beat up. It clearly didn't stop the harassment of the journalist and paper involved.
