This is what her hot air balloon of a excuse for a farher said, not the article. Be angry and speak out against Elon Musks bigotry. Not about what you "think" an article you actually didn't read might have said because of your interpretation of a headline.

We all should know by now that this click bait shit is all hot air most of the time, so why play into it?

I feel like a lot of people here still have to learn how to deal with todays sensationalist internet media. Don't believe everything you (didn't) read at first glance.

If you consume todays "news" only by headlines, without looking behind it and using your own common sense and critical thinking, you are bound to come out with a very distorted world view.

People shouldn’t criticise clickbait headlines?

This kind of headline probably has a fucking body count, and you’re wringing your hands over it.

The headline is written as a factual statement, not a quoted opinion. It therefore endorses the idea that Musk's daughter turned him into a fascist. Everyone knows most people stop reading after the headline, so a headline that only stops being misleading when you read the article is just misleading.
