Owen Thomas should have let another reporter pick this one up. His anger and bias is transparent, and raises serious red flags regarding the veracity of his article.
It reads like an angry spat and a hit piece rolled into one:
The one specific claim Musk made about my reputation ...
Musk also accused me of “collaborating” with the lawyer representing Justine Musk, his ex-wife, in their divorce case. Also false: I picked up the phone and called her lawyer, and he had the courtesy to answer my questions.
An aside to Musk: Making false statements is something the law frowns on.
If you're reporting on your own involvement in a story, you're too close. Instead of using the pages of your rag to angrily defend yourself, let another reporter present the facts, dispassionately.
