One of the accusations—about stalking Musk’s son—has been called into question because Musk did not file a police report.

Like Donald Trump, Elon Musk does not respect journalists. Even those who do Musk’s bidding are not safe, asshortly after she amplified internal Twitter communications related to the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Journalists cannot win by appeasing Musk. They can only win by doing their job, by standing up to the powerful in the public interest.

Now journalists are trying to build a presence on Mastodon, Post.news or other possible alternatives, but most remain active on Twitter because of its huge advantages of scale and their impact there. Many journalists believe the current issues with Musk are an extreme form of the flawed Twitter they have come to love, the one they have long described as a “hell site.” They desperately want Twitter to remain viable as a platform, for Musk to get bored and move on.

In what world would that tweet be editorially inappropriate? Certainly not on Twitter. For at least a decade, media companies like NBC have encouraged their journalists to use social media to increase reach and build their brand. They believe it is good for business. They know that the tone and standards on Twitter are very different from those in newspapers and television news. No matter what you think of the tone, and I think it is fine, Ben Collins’ tweet is manifestly accurate.
