The only person who had a worse week in the press than Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was tech mogul Elon Musk.
– some of which have gotten worse as he’s laid off 80% of the staff – have provided fodder for Musk’s media antagonists. He has made things worse with some erratic moves and petty fights, such as denigrating the Times and NPR.
Elon Musk's Twitter removed the"state-affiliated media" label it temporarily placed on NPR’s account and replaced it with a label that reads,"government funded media."

"This unbroken stream of Musk blarney and BS should be enough to deter the press from automatically reporting the tycoon’s publicity hounding." Except that Musk’s tweets – artificially boosted by an algorithm – are outrageous, funny, inflammatory, aggravating – filling the void left by Trump.Shafer said:"Reporters on the Musk beat have a point when they say you never know which one of Musk’s outrageous stabs at grabbing attention will actually blossom into genuine news.
