The Economist has a style guide rule of always explaining who someone is no matter how famous. The description they chose for Elon Musk in this article is "billionaire conspiracy theorist". And their thesis is that corporate wokeness is in decline - how ironic.
Also interesting how much more biased their headlines are in the print edition than online:
> This article appeared in the Briefing section of the print edition under the headline “Back to sleep”
I wonder why they do that. Presumably they know online articles will be seen by a more diverse audience?
