Musk Turned Meek After Phone Call With JD Vance, Susie Wiles: Reports

Why Troubling News:

The title of the article implies that the call with JD Vance and Susie Wiles will be a significant talking point (and played a significant and evidence-based role in Musk's actions) in the article, but within the article itself only a few throw-away lines are devoted to the event. After those lines, the article goes on to give the play-by-play of Musk's actions before and after his retraction, rehashing many of the events of the conflict between President Trump and Elon Musk. The article uses extremely biased language like "breakup" and "dutifully tucked his tail between his legs," making it seem like this article is meant to be more of a dramatic and emotion-provoking retelling while not actually talking about the details from the headline.
