I think most people assumed that Elon was communicating with BuzzFeed in bad faith and the senior tech reporter was acting in good faith ... but consider the alternate perspective. The reporter had spent several years provoking Elon, Grimes and Grimes’s mother with unprofessional tweets. As the article describes, the reporter he was out to get Elon and threw him under the bus at the first opportunity.<p>The BuzzFeed piece frames Elon as a thin-skinned and erratic with a series of small and misleading reporting errors.<p>Google Docs footnoting BuzzFeed&#x27;s reporting errors: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;document&#x2F;d&#x2F;1nIi1riFnHmNTdzP5kiHuaV3HtfyZm1jvQ8O-8XKevug&#x2F;edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;document&#x2F;d&#x2F;1nIi1riFnHmNTdzP5kiHuaV3H...</a>
