NYT Slammed Over Stealth-Edited, Race-Baiting Musk Smear

The New York Times has come under fire for an absurd hit-piece on Elon
Musk which suggests that because he "grew up in a bubble of white
privilege" in South Africa, he's just fine with racist or other
'toxic' content on Twitter, which they frame as 'unchecked speech.'

After the 'paper of record' began catching flack for their
race-baiting smear (and perhaps after a call from Musk's legal team),
they stealth-edited the article to add distance and suggest that musk
may or may not have been influenced by South Africa's history (but
either way he's a white guy who grew up in South Africa 'so make of
that what you will').

    No editor’s note about changes to the body of the text. Kind of
unprofessional? pic.twitter.com/pQZjhCg4Ko

The Wall Street Journal's Elliot Kaufman slammed the Times, tweeting
"It’s official, apartheid South Africa suffered from too much free
speech."

Kaufman wasn't the only one...

    How do they come to the conclusion that apartheid South Africa
showed "the dangers of unchecked speech"? The apartheid government
DEFINITELY censored the news and intimidated dissenters into silence.
Yet the NYT argues that apartheid South Africa needed LESS free
speech?

    The propaganda being used to attack @elonmusk because he’s buying
@twitter truly is breathtaking. Look at this @nytimes headline. It’s
truly Orwellian. pic.twitter.com/k0WWPKTCSl

And once again a formerly respected mainstream outlet beclowns itself
in an effort to attack an ideological opponent.
