Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.

Truly, the pinnacle of modern journalism: YouTube.

...sometimes, absolutely!

Youtube is a video hosting platform, just saying a piece of news is hosted on youtube says exactly nothing about it's credibility.

Youtube did not create this video, if you want to say anything useful about its validity you'll have to be a bit more specific about the actual video itself or it's creators.

But I guess cheap pot shots make for easier upvotes.

A YouTube clip interviewing a New Yorker journalist from a news station’s official channel. 🤨

I know dude what the fuck... I saw the "headline" and looked at the source. what in the real fuck

Yes, MSNBC’s YouTube channel posting clips from their TV programs is definitely not a valid news source 🙄

It’s wild how quickly some of y’all love to (smugly) dismiss things at a glance.

Then maybe link the article itself? It's not that hard, guys.

An “article” of a TV interview. Ok, champ.

You have a lovely day.

If the guy wrote an article, just link to an article 🤷‍♀️

Like you can't even argue that this is at least a perspective from a foreign state. It's literally the thoughts of one guy.

“One guy” is a strange way to describe Ronan Farrow, who just did a huge New Yorker article on Elon Musk.

Ah yes, because the New Yorker is a completely unbiased source of information instead of (as the name might suggest) a newspaper targeted at the New York elite.
