Tangentially related: Musk claimed in a tweet that Business Insider is not a real news publication. Seems like a business publication..but a lot of fark and flu

  It appears that to Musk anything or anyone who dares question him isn't "real".

    It appears that to Musk anything or anyone who dares question him isn't "real". True or not, that doesn't answer the question, it only suggests motive, not accuracy in this case.

  I don’t know about the musk comment but they had one of the worst takes of the pandemic a few months ago about return to office, that seemed to include made up gen Z personas, like Jessica the 25 year old software engineer, who loves feeling the heat of her coworker’s bodies. https://t.co/43ZfP61HYC https://t.co/43ZfP61HYC

  > Seems like a business publication..but a lot of fark and fluff. To be fair, I'd be surprised if anyone at BI sees this as a "real" article. Like, it's more of an equivalent of a cartoon in a newspaper or a meme – couple of funny diagrams to get some easy clicks. If you want to get an accurate view, I think you'd need to look at the base rate (like, are all articles empty fluff?). Alternatively, I could imagine a two-pronged model when the fluff-clicks are funding the "real" journalism. If so, I'd check if the deeper articles are substantially higher quality – I think it's unlikely, but I might be wrong.

  There is no need to bring that name into every public discussion. BI like most online based "news" are farming content to be solvent. The fact that Musk seems to agree is utterly irrelevant.
