Want to be an anonymous source? Just email some reporter some bullsh-t about Musk or a Republican, they will print that sh-t.
Random guy lies and says he just got fired by Musk, tells her Musk is about to remove dates from X posts and is going start charging everyone to create an account...she runs with it, quotes him. It's that easy to be a 'source'. He just made it all up haha
This is thread on how he did it. Didn't take much.
Reporter is Kali Hays, this is on her linkedin
I'm a business reporter and journalist with a decade of experience covering and breaking news about some of the biggest and most notable companies in the world
