Musk is going all crazy about the NPR thing on Twitter right now, and is calling for them to be "defunded." For their part, NPR says the label calls into question their editorial independence and undermines their credibility, which feels like fair complaint. So now Musk wants them de-funded, which is just great for Twitter, as it helps push Musk's narrative that citizen journalism is the end all-be all. Musk is really attacking a fundamental platform of democracy here.
