I work in a news-adjacent industry. As far as I can tell nobody on the news side is “scared out of their mind”. There is concern over the whole “rich guy takes over town square” aspect, a bit of concern over the “increasingly arbitrary ban policy” bit, but nothing you couldn’t easily find as top-voted comments on HN or Reddit, and nothing I’d describe in anywhere near as strong terms as what you used. Maybe some of the smaller new media reporting outlets that are more likely to catch a ban they can’t fight for saying something Elon doesn’t like feel more vulnerable, IDK.
