This is a case of someone use a "technically correct" fact to make a misleading statement (at least in tone), and then following it up with a 'kill-the-messenger' political snipe at journalists. This is textbook contrar

This is textbook concern trolling. We shouldn't engage with it directly on it terms, only as a crystal clear example of how disingenuously lobbyists will use "technically correct" marginal criticisms. Not to defeat progress&#

I call it "functional innumeracy". Our society is stuck at a local-maxima for communicating via headlines and short-conversations where we can only really compress and encode signed-keywords to each other. Meaning like, musk+ or
