NOBODY continued

The Elon Musk tweet came from an unreliable Santa Monica Observer website.

"The publisher of the website, David Ganezer, unsuccessfully ran for the Santa Monica City Council in 2010 and 1988, according to the Santa Monica Daily Press. He is a registered Republican, voting records show."

Confirmation bias: the tendency of people to favor information that confirms or strengthens their beliefs or values and is difficult to dislodge once affirmed. 

I believe the info about Ganezer without bothering to fact check it. Actually The Santa Monica Observer was deemed "unreliable source" by 
 fact-checking website Media Bias/Fact Check. I am trusting Media Bias/Fact Check. Or I assume that website is, what did Cruz say, the epitome of fake news?

Before NOBODY commented on the article, people showed their bias towards Musk buying Twitter. Yeah, me too. As someone put it: giving Russian disinformation access. Not to mention the Lying Twitter King, aka: con-man, help to spread his real fake news. I guess Truth Social is not working for the former guy.

Where was I? I had to go back to check; the article was published by NBC news. Another aside peeps always be ranting about Yahoo leftist bias, when Yahoo is just sharing news articles the same as Google, AOL, and such. I guess I would trust NBC news to be a reputable source of news. 

"Delete you account!" "Musk now has a goldmine of info." "The info will still be there if you delete your account." "They already have a goldmine of info from other sources." "IP address, Facebook, I never had Twitter....blah, blah, blah."

Along comes NOBODY to change direction of conversation. To be fair, the article did mention Musk replying to Hillary Clinton Tweet. The article did not have a screen shot of the tweets. Musk quickly deleted his response that linked to the Santa Monica Observer article.

Clinton Tweet:

"The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow."

Now I will Google Media Bias/Fact Check to verify it is a reputable source of info.
